gramCowboy butter seems like a bit of an odd name for this otherwise gourmet looking and tasting dipping sauce. It’s remarkably easy to make, comes together in 10-15 minutes, and pairs well with pretty much any protein (though I’m partial to steak).
Ingredients
8 TB cold butter (113g)
1.5 TB lemon juice (mLg)
2 TB Dijon mustard
1 TB prepared horseradish
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp chile flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 TB finely chopped fresh parsley
1 TB finely chopped fresh chives
2 tsp roughly chopped fresh thyme
Directions
- Combine butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, horseradish, paprika and chile flakes in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
- Whisk frequently as the butter melts to create an emulsion (see note)
- Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and herbs. Whisk together and cook for another 5 minutes, whisking periodically.
- Serve in small dipping bowls along with your protein of choice.

Notes
- This sauce will break (the oil will separate) if cooked too long. I recommend preparing this sauce no more than 10 minutes prior to when you plan to serve it.
Hey Steve – I think you meant your sauce will break (not bread) if cooked too long. Just thought you’d want to know! Sounds delicious!
Thanks for the catch. I’ve fixed it. But, seriously, how cool would it be if it turned into bread?
