Instructions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Stir everything together until well combined and smooth.
Fold in the chopped parsley and chives for a fresh, herby flavor.
Transfer the cowboy butter to a serving dish and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to use.
For the best results, let the cowboy butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For extra spice, add more red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or a finely chopped jalapeño.

Use plant-based butter for a vegan version of cowboy butter.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Let it rest at room temperature before using to achieve the best consistency.
