This recipe is from Matt Partridge, Executive Chef, C.W.C., Willow Oaks
Country Club, Richmond, Va. MM format by Ursula R. Taylor.
In a medium skillet, saute' onions and garlic in 1 tbsp. butter for about
2 minutes or until browning starts. Cool. In a small saucepan boil Jack
Daniel's for 5 minutes sor until the alcohol is reduced. Cool. In a medium
boil, whip butter with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. Whip in salt,
pepper, parsley, sugar, Jack Daniel's, and sauteed onion mixture. Form into
a long tube on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll up. Chill. Slice off
pieces as needed.
CHEF'S NOTES: If using salted butter do not add any additional salt. If
whipped butter is too soft to form roll, refrigerate for 5 minutes. While
any bourbon will do, Jack Daniel's is a favorite in the South. This
flavored butter may be made up to one week in advance. Do not freeze.
PERSONAL NOTE from Ursula R. Taylor - just above the recipe it was noted
that the Chef grills beef tenderloin with a small pc. of this butter on top
~ and as it melts it turns into something a a sauce. It works well on any
kind of steak. Also advises that you start with a slightly soft stick of
butter.
