Mushrooms, Steaks & Garlic Scapes!

My friend and her husband grow their own garlic and hooked me up with a bunch of garlic scapes. Have you guys ever cooked with them before??? I hadn't even heard of them until she asked me if I wanted some and they are AWESOME! I read that you can freeze them, I will definitely be doing that!


This should last me a while!

Ever since she dropped them off, I have been trying to think of ways to use them...I bought some nice filet's from Sam's Club on Friday that needed to be cooked...
I remember one time my Mom asked my brother what he wanted for dinner and he said "How bout steaks?" and my Mom's response was "Well, that's not really a Monday night kinda thing." It must have stuck with me because, rarely, do we have steak on Monday's...Weird, I know...
ANYWAYS...I decided to make a nice butter to go on top of the steak and some yummy mushrooms for the side...here it goes...

Garlic Scape & Rosemary Butter

4 garlic scapes, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1/2 stick butter, room temperature

Using a fork, mash the butter with the garlic scapes and rosemary until blended.

Printable Recipe!!!

I didn't take any pictures while preparing the butter...oopsie
But this is right after I put it on the meat. How GOOD does that look???
Mmmm
