Anchovy butter with capers

4 garlic cloves
3 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Cognac
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
115 g butter, room temperature

Blend first 7 ingredients in food processor. Add butter and process until well blended. Season to taste with salt. Lay sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Transfer butter mixture to plastic wrap and roll to form a log. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. (Caper-anchovy butter can be prepared 1 week ahead. Keep frozen. Let butter soften slightly before using.) Serve with beef or salmon steaks.
