Ingredients
  

  • 4 steaks of your choice
  • salt and pepper

for the butter

  • ½ cup butter salted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • few grinds of black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cream together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, Dijon mustard, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the butter mixture to a large sheet of plastic wrap that’s flat on the counter or a work surface.
  • Form the butter into a 1.5-inch wide cylinder and wrap it well in plastic wrap. Pop it into the freezer to harden.
  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes before grilling. This allows the meat to come to room temperature, ensuring even cooking.
  • Preheat the grill. Aim for medium-high heat for a nice sear. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are hot and white.
  • Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
  • Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook according to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 125-130°F.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Top each steak with a slice of the cowboy butter before serving. Let it melt down over the top and dig in!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • You can prep the cowboy butter days or even weeks ahead. It’ll keep in the freezer for several months.
  • Don't overcook the steaks! They will continue to cook slightly while resting.
  • For a smokier flavor, add wood chips to your grill while cooking.
