Black Truffle Butter Recipes

BLACK TRUFFLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince the black truffles up very finely. A microplane works well.
• Use a fork to combine the minced truffles with the butter and oil (if using).
• Place the butter on a piece of parchment or wax paper and roll it into a log. Twist the ends to seal.
• Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

CROSTINI WITH BLACK TRUFFLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Lay the bread slices flat on a baking sheet, and toast them in the oven for 4 minutes, turn the slices over, and toast for another 4 minutes or so, until they're light gold. Cool the toasts on a wire rack.
• If using a fresh truffle, brush it clean with a kitchen towel or vegetable brush. With a sharp vegetable peeler, shave off any tough bits from the exterior of the truffle (save these for sauces or other cooked dishes). Jarred truffles will be ready to use, without cleaning or trimming.
• Grate the truffle on the fine holes of a grater, reserving a small solid piece. Put the butter and anchovies in the mini-food processor, and pulse until smooth. Fold in the grated truffle.
• Spread the butter on the cooled crostini. Grate the reserved piece of truffle over the crostini, giving each one a dusting of truffle. Serve immediately.

STEAKS WITH TRUFFLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix butter, truffle oil, shaved truffle, and sea salt together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Place a baking pan in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season steaks with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks, working in batches if necessary, and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the hot baking pan from the oven and place steaks on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Let steaks rest for 5 minutes. To serve, dab 1 tablespoon truffle butter on top of each steak.
