Garlic Herb and Parmesan Butter

With light jazz music playing on my stereo, I am now ready to concentrate on planning this evening's meal. Tonight I will entertain some friends.

As an appetizer I have a Breton Mini Cracker topped with a small slice of Brie Cheese and a spot of Tabasco Pepper Jelly.

I will serve Delicious USDA Choice Bone-In Rib Steaks.

Also Baked Potatoes, Asparagus Spears, and Caesar Salad.

And of course, followed by something sweet, yet to be determined.

What will make this meal extra special, beside the Harter House Strip Steak, is a Garlic Herb Butter to top the meat, asparagus and crusty french bread.

Make this butter ahead so that the spices have time to infuse the butter.
