Method
  1. In a large bowl, add the anchovies and flaked salt. With a fork, gently mash the anchovies until they have broken apart and resemble a paste.
  2. Add the dijon mustard to the anchovies and mix to combine.
  3. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco and mix to combine.
  4. Lastly, add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  5. Place the butter mixture into a sandwich sized ziplock bag and set aside.
  6. Roll out some cling wrap neatly along a clean bench.
  7. Using scissors, cut a large opening in the corner of the ziplock bag, approximately 4cm wide.
  8. Position the bag over the cling wrap and begin to apply pressure. In a sideways motion start to pipe a large log of butter along the length of cling wrap. Once all is piped set bag aside and begin to roll up the butter in the cling wrap until it resembles a log.
  9. Tightly wrap and roll the log in swift motions.
  10. Place into the fridge for at least 1 hour prior to slicing and serving alongside a perfectly cooked steak!
