Roasted Garlic, Herb and Lemon Butter

When putting steaks on the ‘barbie’, just season all sides with salt and pepper. Then as they cook, baste with this butter and at the end, give it one final brush over.

• 1 bulb garlic
• 1 tbsp. thyme, chopped
• 1 tb sp. rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp. oregano, chopped
• zest from 2 lemons,
• juice from 1 lemon
• pinch of pepper

Preheat oven to 35o degrees. Cut off the top of the garlic bulb exposing the tops of all the cloves. Drizzle the cut side with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Wrap the clove in tinfoil, tightly sealed and bake for up to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven when the clove is with caramelized in colour and soft to the touch. Set aside and allow to cool.

In a medium pot, melt the butter at medium heat. Once the garlic has cooled enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a bowl and mash with a fork.

Add the herbs, juice, zest and stir.  Believe me this make the steaks beyond awrsome. Again, thanks Chef Justin.
