Make this bold, zesty Cowboy Butter Dipping Sauce at home. This recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor using simple ingredients like fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon, perfect for steak or grilled vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the softened butter in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the minced garlic, shallots, parsley, chives, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt to the butter.
  3. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to mix all ingredients together until they are fully combined and the mixture is uniform.
  4. Stir in the fresh lemon juice until incorporated.
  5. You can serve the Cowboy Butter immediately as a soft dip or spread.
  6. For a firmer compound butter, transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap, roll it into a log shape, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Slice the chilled butter into rounds to serve over hot steak or vegetables.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings.
  • This compound butter recipe works well as a flavorful butter spread for crusty bread.
  • If you are using this as a dipping sauce for steak, gently melt the butter mixture in a small saucepan over low heat just before serving.
