Introduction

In industry most chefs finish steaks with a compound butter which is basically a flavored butter. The butter adds richness and shine to the steak. To boost flavor and lower fat I choose a blue cheese herb aka butter- but guess what no butter in this reicpe.
Check out the spice asile at the market- you should be able to find a pepper trio or melange.
