Beefy Burgers With Herby Compound Butter

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, make compound herb butter by combining softened butter, thyme, sage, parsley, chives, and rosemary; this can also be done in a food processor.

2. 2

   Turn out onto parchment or plastic wrap and roll into a log, 1 1/2-to 2-inches in diameter.

3. 3

   Chill until firm, or freeze for up to one month.

4. 4

   Heat grill or grill pan.

5. 5

   Form 4 eight-ounce burgers, 1-inch thick.

6. 6

   Cut four 1/4-inch thick slices of compound butter from the log.

7. 7

   Make an indentation in the center of each burger, and place half of a 1/4-inch slice of compound butter inside.

8. 8

   Reshape meat to cover butter, making sure it is not visible from either side; season both sides with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Oil grill with a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

10. 10

    Grill burgers for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium doneness.
