Method
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you prefer a little heat). Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure all ingredients blend smoothly.
- Step 2: Using a spatula or mixing spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
- Step 3: Transfer the cowboy butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log using the wrap to help form a tight cylinder.
- Step 4: Wrap the butter log tightly in the plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Step 5: After the butter has firmed up, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Use a sharp knife to slice the butter into rounds. Place a slice on top of your grilled steak or another protein of your choice.
Notes
Make sure to use softened butter for easy mixing. You can customize the flavor by adding different herbs or spices.
