This recipe makes a lot–enough to top a dozen or so steaks–but it can keep for a few months if it is well-wrapped in the freezer. Have I mentioned that it’s nice to have something like this on hand to garnish a good steak?

How To Make “beurre rouge” or red-wine compound butter

1
In a small pot combine the wine and shallot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and let cool.
4
In the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine butter, shallot-wine mixture, the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
5
Scrape out of the bowl with a rubber spatula and place in the center of a large piece of plastic wrap

Gently form into a 1-inch diameter log, shaping and squeezing.
