This Zesty Garlic Cowboy Butter is such an interesting complimentary condiment for a nice, juicy ribeye. Not interested in masking the natural meatiness of the steak, this buttery concoction acts as a punchy side-kick to enhance the flavor and overall experience. It’s smooth and creamy and packed with strong flavors that meld together in a subtly balanced treat for meat.
A lot goes into this little divine spread. It’s got garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs and dijon mustard. Seems like it would all be overpowering, but the flavors play so nicely together, not one dominating the other, to create a well-rounded general burst of tastiness you didn’t know your steak needed.
Feel free to slather this all over your steak or dip in individual strips as you go. You could even throw on a dab of this stuff while the steak is still warm and resting and watch it melt into the meat’s pores, leaving behind delicious puddles of flavor. As for any leftover butter, spread it all over a nice crusty baguette and pop in the oven to crisp and melt for a crazy good garlic bread or toast up some grilled cheese sandwiches.
