Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons Creole mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons  prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, grated on a micro planer
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chives, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme teaspoon
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary finely minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, add softened butter (1/2 cup), mustard (2 teaspoons), horseradish sauce (2 teaspoons), and lemon juice (1 teaspoon). Using a hand-held electric mixer, set on medium speed, beat mixture until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated.

To Make A Dip

  • Place ingredients in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.

To Make A Compound Butter

  • Place the mixture in a line on an 8-inch-long piece of wax paper. Roll up the paper, forming a log or cylinder, pressing and shaping as you go, then twist the ends. Refrigerate until firm.
  • Cut slices of compound butter and place on cooked steak to finish or serve as a dipping accompaniment to cooked steak.
