Cowboy Butter

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter softened (I use salted)
  • juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh chives cut very fine
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves or 2 tsp. fresh
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. minced shallots

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add the softened butter, and all other ingredients. Stir until everything is well blended.
  2. Scoop the cowboy butter on a large piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Press to form log and twist the ends of the plastic wrap to hold together. Refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight. (I sometimes pop into the freezer for about 20 minutes).
  3. To serve, cut thin slices and put on top of your steak. Or you can melt this butter and use as a dipping sauce for your steak.
  4. Store in refrigerator for 5 days or freeze for several months.
