Cowboy Butter Steak Sauce

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp butter (Melted)
• 4.5 cloves garlic (Minced; use 4 to 5 cloves)
• 0.5 lemon lemon juice (Juice of 1/2 lemon)
• 0.5 tbsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (Finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp chives (Finely chopped)
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tsp thyme (Fresh thyme leaves or dried thyme)
• salt (To taste)
• black pepper (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low to medium-low heat. Keep the heat gentle so the butter melts without browning or separating excessively.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and Dijon mustard to the melted butter.

3. 3

   Stir the mixture until the mustard is incorporated and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

4. 4

   Add the chili flakes, thyme, chopped chives, and fresh parsley.

5. 5

   Stir once more and warm briefly, about 30 seconds, until the herbs are distributed throughout the butter. Serve warm over rested steak or use as a dipping sauce.
