This Cowboy Butter has been all the rage this year on TikTok and social media. It's an easy dipping sauce that takes grilled steaks, meats, seafood, and veggies to a whole new level. Trust me, if you make this once, you will have this on a weekly rotation in your home.

What Is Cowboy Butter?

Cowboy butter is a type of compound butter that’s packed with flavor and is often used as a condiment or finishing sauce for grilled meats, particularly steak.

To make this, simply combine various fresh herbs, Dijon mustard, spices, and citrus with melted butter to create a rich and savory mixture. It can be melted and used as a dipping sauce or chilled and used as a spread.

To make this, melt butter in a saucepan. Then, add in lemon, garlic, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, fresh parsley, fresh chopped chives, fresh thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper.

I like to leave mine melted and use as a dipping sauce. It really makes your steak sing!

Store in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

This also makes a great spread for things like garlic bread, etc.
