Leave the butter out at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until it’s soft but not melted.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, mashed roasted garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
Mash and mix everything until fully combined.*
Give it a quick taste. Add a pinch of salt or herbs if you want it punchier.
Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, roll into a log, twist the ends, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.
Remove butter from refrigerator, unwrap, and slice into 8 even pats.
Grill or cook your steak to desired temperature. If grilling remove to a plate. If cooking on the stovetop, leave in pan.
Immediately place pats of butter onto steaks to melt. Serve and enjoy!

*You can also use a mini food processor for a smoother blend, but it's not necessary.
