Ok. If y’all have been reading my blog or follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that we are big steak eaters around here. Like seriously that’s all Allen ever wants to eat. I have no idea how he doesn’t have high cholesterol or gout.

Anyway, I tried something different and made this cowboy butter sauce one night to go with our steaks. Oh, my goodness. It’s so good. It’s so easy and it takes less than 5 minutes to make.

Equipment You’ll Need

For this recipe, you’ll need a small saucepan, some measuring spoons and a large spoon to stir with. I transferred my sauce to a small bowl for serving, but that’s totally optional. You can serve it right out of the pan.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Salted Butter:

I used salted butter. I like it best. You can always use unsalted if needed and add a tiny bit of salt to it.

Minced Garlic:

I used a tablespoon of minced garlic.

Dijon Mustard:

I used a tablespoon of Dijon mustard. This just adds a little tangier flavor.

Lemon Juice:

This just cuts down on the buttery-ness, if that’s possible. It also levels out the salt in the salted butter.

Herbs:

I used thyme, Italian seasonings, chives, parsley, and dill.

Seasonings:

As for any additional seasonings, you’ll need paprika and cayenne pepper.

How to Make Cowboy Butter

step one:

Add your butter to a small saucepan to low heat. Melt butter slowly. You don’t want it to burn or brown.

step two:

Once butter is fully melted, add in the remainder of the ingredients. Stir well for a few seconds and remove from heat. Serve with steak or seafood. Enjoy!
