Melting herb butter on your piping hot steak is of course nothing new, but in the United States they take it a step further, their cowboy butter is the way to take your steak to a higher level.
Melted butter is mixed with exciting and spicy spices, fresh herbs, lemon and mustard to create a very rich and flavourful sauce.
You can sprinkle the completely melted cowboy butter on top of your steak or let it solidify a little more and use it more like some kind of spread.
Don’t be alarmed, if the cowboy butter gets very hot, it will curdle slightly. Therefore it is best not to use and process it further than lukewarm.
