Ingredients

8 servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • ½ cup finely minced fresh Italian parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 lemon (zested and halved)
  • ¼ -½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

  1. Place the softened butter in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the parsley, garlic, finely minced lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Then, squeeze half of a lemon into the bowl (about 2 tablespoons of juice). Beat again until well combined.

  2. Transfer the sauce mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. When ready to use, scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture into a small glass bowl and warm until liquid.

  3. Dip vegetables or steak bites into the warm butter sauce or pour the sauce over foods and lightly toss to coat. The butter sauce mixture will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
