Ingredients
- 1 Stick or ½ Cup Butter – Salted or unsalted
- 2 teaspoon Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Do ¼ teaspoon if you don’t a spice fan
- ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes I used 1 teaspoon but do have if you don’t like too much spice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Chives you can use finely minced scallions
- 1 tablespoon Parsley cilantro can also be used
- ½ tablespoon Thyme
Instructions
- Gather and measure out your ingredients. Place medium size pot on stove and turn on your flame to medium low.
- When pot is warm, put the butter in. Once it’s almost melted add in garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir and then add in dijon mustard.
- Stir this to combine all the ingredients very well using a whisk and do not bring this to a boil otherwise it could separate.
- Once the butter is warmed and ingredients are combined very well add in your chili flakes and fresh herbs (chives, parsley and thyme) and stir well.
- If using it immediately as a dipping sauce, serve and enjoy. If making compound butter, see step 6.
- Compound Butter: Allow the mixture to cool well so that it's thick. Lay out some plastic wrap and pour it out on the wrap. Using a spatula makes this easier. Roll up the butter like a twinkie. Refrigerate and once completely cooled off you can cut off circular butter pats to top your steak with.
