Notes
To use on steak: grill steak as directed, then while the steak is resting place a round of compound butter over the hot steak while it rests, allowing it to slowly melt into that delicious steak.
Softening Butter: It it's last minute and the butter is firm or cold, microwave the butter in a glass bowl for 10 second increments until it's soft. You don't want the butter to melt as that will separate some of the fats.
