To a small plate or mixing bowl, add butter, finely chopped parsley, garlic and mix to combine. The herb butter can be used immediately or kept in the fridge until needed. I mostly wrap the butter in a cling film (plastic bag) into a log shape or rectangle. I then cut it into cubes on the steak while it is still hot.
