A quick and easy compound butter with roasted garlic, herbs, and lemon to enhance your grilled steak, chicken, or vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut off the top 1/4 inch of the garlic head. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, roasted garlic, parsley, chives, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mash the ingredients together with a fork until well combined and the garlic is evenly distributed.
  4. You can serve the cowboy butter immediately, or roll it into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • For best results, use unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness.
  • This butter pairs wonderfully with grilled steak, chicken, pork, or vegetables.
  • Store leftover cowboy butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
