Ingredients

  1. ½ cup (1 stick) Challenge Butter, softened (1 stick)
  2. ¼ cup blue cheese, crumbled
  3. ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  4. 2 teaspoons garlic *blanched, and pressed or minced (3 or 4 cloves)

  6. ¼ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Cream butter in small bowl using a fork or electric mixer.

  2. Step 2

    Blanch garlic by placing unpeeled garlic in boiling water for 5 minutes then peel - gives garlic a milder, smoother flavor.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually blend in other ingredients. Butter mixture can be used while still soft; or it can be rolled into a cylinder in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerated or frozen, then sliced into teaspoon-sized rounds.

  4. Step 4

    This compound butter is a nice accompaniment to grilled steaks. Season steaks with salt and pepper and place on pre-heated grill. Cook until desired doneness. Place 1 Tablespoon on each steak and serve.

Note: Flavored butter can be stored a couple days in the refrigerator or it can be frozen for several weeks.
