Homemade Cowboy Butter

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 Tablespoon shallot (finely minced)
• 1 Tablespoon fresh chives (finely minced)
• 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (finely minced)
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (finely minced)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Make the butter. Place your softened butter in a medium-size bowl, then add in the rest of your ingredients. Mix everything together thoroughly with a rubber spatula.

2. 2

   Use or store. Use your Cowboy Butter right away on steaks, melt in for a dip, or store it for later. Place any unused butter on a piece of plastic wrap. Roll it up tight, then store in the refrigerator to use for up to a week.
