Turn Steak Night Into An Unforgettable Feast With This Rich Butter Trick - Tasting Table

"Keeping with the charcuterie-inspired wave of grazing boards, snack boards, and just about any other food board you can imagine, the humble butter board began as a stylish means of serving bread. Starting with a food-grade board and softened butter, the condiment is then spread along the board and dressed with a variety of complementary ingredients such as salt, seasonings, or sauces, and served with an ideal dipper."

"The use of a butter board is also a great way to enhance more affordable cuts of steak with extra flavor and fat content, provided you've taken care to tenderize the beef first. Slicing your cooked steak into smaller bite-sized pieces or strips can also make this a pleasing appetizer or communal meal with friends. Try a few different compound butter recipes on one board to make your serving a fun shared tasting experience."

Butter boards adapt the charcuterie-style food board by spreading softened butter on a food-grade board and dressing it with complementary ingredients like salt, seasonings, or sauces. Compound butters such as cowboy butter, garlic and herb butter, or bone marrow butter pair well with steak for added flavor and richness. Butter boards can elevate affordable, tenderized cuts by adding fat and seasoning, and sliced steak pieces work well for appetizers or communal tastings. Serving multiple compound butter varieties on one board creates a shared tasting experience. Select steaks that cook to desired doneness and slice easily, and keep steak seasonings simple to let meat and butter flavors shine.
