Cowboy Butter for Bison Steaks

Super flavorful butter topping for steaks, veggies, potatoes, bread, poultry or fish. You’re going to love it.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tablespoons Olive oil

• 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) Unsalted Butter (Softened)

• 2 Tablespoons very finely diced fresh parsley

• 1 Tablespoon very finely diced fresh chives

• 1/2 teaspoon very finely diced fresh thyme

• 1 clove garlic minced

• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or to spice preference)

• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Directions:

1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the parsley, chives, thyme, garlic and chili flakes. Cook, stirring regularly, until the garlic is very fragrant and softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. 

2. To a medium bowl, add butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, paprika, Worcestershire, salt, and black pepper. Top with the cooled olive oil mixture and mix until well combined. 

3. Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap and spoon the butter mixture in a line down the center. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter, squeezing it gently and rolling up the plastic wrap as needed, to form a log about 6 inches long. Twist the ends closed and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Use the cowboy butter to top a seared steak or grilled chicken breast. Or try it stirred into pasta, spread on crusty bread, or as a topping for a baked potato.
