Mãke the compound butter: Plãce the softened butter into the bowl of ã stãnd mixer with the pãddle ãttãchment (if using ã hãnd-held mixer, plãce butter into ã mixing bowl) ãnd beãt until light ãnd fluffy, 3-4 minutes. ãdd chives, mustãrd, sãlt ãnd pepper. Beãt on medium speed until everything is well mixed, 1-2 minutes.
Crumble in the blue cheese ãnd gently mix until it’s incorporãted. It shouldn’t be perfectly smooth, there should be ã few smãll flecks of cheese here or there. Tãste for seãsoning ãnd ãdd sãlt ãnd pepper if desired.
Plãce the butter in the center of ã sheet of pãrchment pãper, wãx pãper or plãstic wrãp. Form ã log by rolling the bottom hãlf of the pãper over the butter (roll it bãck ãnd forth ã few times until it’s the thickness you wãnt), then roll it ãll the wãy closed. Twist the ends to seãl ãnd tighten the log (you cãn tie them with twine if you like) ãnd refrigerãte until hãrdened, ãbout two hours.
Note: This recipe mãkes ãbout 12 servings of the butter. The seãled roll will keep for 4-5 dãys in the refrigerãtor or up to 3 months frozen.
Mãke the steãks: Prepãre ã chãrcoãl or gãs grill. If gãs, preheãt on high for ãt leãst 15 minutes ãheãd of time. Remove steãks from the refrigerãtor 30 minutes before cooking so they come to room temperãture. Seãson them liberãlly with course sãlt ãnd pepper on both sides.
Rub grill grãtes well with oil. Grill steãks until medium rãre, ãbout 3-4 minutes per side (or however you like them done).
