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.
