Make up a compound butter worthy of grilling season in just minutes! This homemade Cowboy Butter is so delicious on grilled chicken and steak.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley
• A pinch of red pepper flakes
• A pinch of coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• juice and zest of 1/2 lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Allow the butter to come to room temperature before starting. Beat the butter until creamy, then add in the parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest. Mix until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and turn the mixture out onto a piece of parchment paper. Using the back of a spatula, spread out the mixture into a log shape. Roll the parchment paper up and twist the ends.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to come together.
