It's perfect as a dipping sauce for steak or seafood like crab meat and shrimp, but it's so delicious on its own that you can even enjoy it with a fresh piece of French bread or over a simple vegetable side dish.
Give this easy cowboy butter sauce recipe a try and I know you'll want to pair it with everything. Make extra - it's simple to store and save for later!
I tried it! It came out. Perfect lunch or dinner paired with fresh picked vegetables from the garden.

Great Stuff....
Isabel Laessig says
Thanks so much, Donna!
Sadie says
Excellent! Delicious with steak and oven-roasted veggies. I used a pinch of cayenne instead of pepper flakes and added chopped tarragon, thyme, and a teaspoon of anchovy paste. The sauce tasted better after resting for a few hours. Leftovers freeze well.
