Filet with Herbed Butter<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

By Todd Barron @ FoodieCuisine.com<\/h4>\n

Have you ever wondered why the steaks at steak houses taste so great?\u00a0 Do you want an easy way to improve the flavor of the meals you cook without a lot of extra work?\u00a0 If you answered yes to either of these questions, herbed butter may be in your future.<\/p>\n

Herbed butter is nothing more than butter which has been infused with the flavor of one or more spices.\u00a0 Fresh herbs are typically used with butter and the resulting flavor is a wonderful addition to just about any food.<\/p>\n

Steak houses place a\u00a0slice of herbed butter on top of steaks when they are done.\u00a0 By the time it reaches the table, the butter has melted and the herbs add an extra layer of flavor.\u00a0 They use many other methods of course, but herbed butter can be one of them.\u00a0 You can do the same thing by placing a slice on chicken fresh out of the oven, or fish fresh from the grill.<\/p>\n

You can also used herbed butter on vegetables as it enhances most things (except dessert.)\u00a0 Moderation is the key as butter has calories, but a little can go a long ways.<\/p>\n

So, how do you make it?\u00a0 It\u2019s quite simple really.\u00a0 Buy some fresh herbs, a good butter, plastic wrap, and get to work.<\/p>\n
