Cowboy Butter
A bold, herb-packed compound butter with garlic, Dijon, lemon, and a kick of heat — the viral steak sauce everyone is making right now.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the softened butter to a medium bowl. Beat with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add the garlic, parsley, chives, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
- Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the butter is uniform in color.
- Serve immediately as a melting sauce over hot steak, or roll into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
Notes
- Butter must be fully softened — not melted — for the right texture.
- Roll into a log and freeze for up to 2 months. Slice off rounds as needed.
- Works on steak, grilled chicken, shrimp, corn, and crusty bread.
