It’s hard to trace the origins of every viral recipe, but it seems likely that cowboy butter originated at a tiny, now-closed New York City restaurant called Mr. Donahue’s. There, it sided dishes like gorgeous herb-crusted prime rib<\/a>, duchess potatoes<\/a> and lemon-almond asparagus<\/a>. Soon, riffs on the restaurant’s secret seasoned butter recipe became an internet sensation.<\/p>\n

Our cowboy butter recipe is robustly seasoned with garlic, shallots and a wide array of spices, bringing tons of flavor to any dish. You can make the butter in batches and store it in the fridge or freezer so it’s available whenever you want it. Use cowboy butter to spruce up weeknight dinners and wow your party guests.<\/p>\n

What is cowboy butter?<\/h2>\n

In its original iteration, cowboy butter was a sauce of butter that was melted and flavored with herbs, spices and alliums (all the delicious plants related to onions and garlic). Our version is more like compound butter, a fancy name for softened butter mixed with stuff to make it taste even better! Once the flavorful ingredients are blended in, the butter is rolled into a log and chilled. It can then be sliced and placed on top of hot foods to make an instant sauce.<\/p>\n
