Cowboy Butter Sauce

The 6 most important ingredients for the steak with cowboy butter sauce

Steak: Of course, the whole cowboy butter sauce only makes sense if you serve it with a decent steak. We really recommend paying attention to the quality of the meat. We chose beef rump here, but you can also choose the cut that suits you. The sauce goes well with not only beef, but also pork or chicken.

Butter: The main protagonist of this sauce is of course the butter, as the name suggests. Make sure to use a high-quality butter, as it forms the foundation of the flavor. It rounds everything off and makes the sauce the star with its creamy consistency.

Lemon peel and juice: Fresh lemon provides a pleasant acidity that balances out the heaviness of the butter. It is best to use an organic lemon, as its peel is free of pesticides and provides an intense, fresh taste. We actually always recommend this when preparing dishes with lemon peel.

Garlic: Freshly chopped garlic is essential for Cowboy Butter Sauce. It adds a strong flavor and a distinctive aroma that harmonizes perfectly with the butter. Make sure to chop the garlic finely so that it is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

Dijon mustard: The Dijon mustard gives the sauce a subtle spiciness and a slightly nutty note that harmonizes perfectly with the other ingredients. Use a high-quality Dijon mustard to get the full flavor. In addition, the mustard acts as a natural emulsifier and “holds” the sauce together.

Paprika powder: Paprika not only adds a pleasant spiciness and depth, but also a beautiful color to the sauce. For a slightly smokier note, you can also use smoked paprika powder.

Preparation: Simple and quick

Preparing the Cowboy Butter Sauce is relatively straightforward and quick. Make sure to melt the butter over a low heat so that it doesn’t burn. As soon as it’s liquid, you can stir in the remaining ingredients. It’s important that the sauce doesn’t get too hot, otherwise the delicate flavors will be lost and the sauce could curdle. To achieve the ideal consistency, you should stir the sauce constantly while you add the ingredients. As soon as everything is well mixed, the sauce can be served immediately – ideally warm, directly with the steak.
