  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped chives, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the cowboy butter.
  2. If you prefer, sear the steak in a skillet for 2–3 minutes on both sides to lock in flavors.

  7. If desired, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) in the last 30 minutes of cooking for a thicker sauce.
  8. Serve the steak and potatoes on a platter, spoon some sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
