Worcestershire Butter image

This easy compound butter brings the brawny flavors of Worcestershire sauce, thyme and garlic to just about anything. Use it on steak, chicken, grilled corn on the cob or French bread - whatever you think would benefit from its intensity. Make sure to let it soften a bit before serving. Once it's soft and spreadable, you may just want to slather it on with abandon.
