🧈
Hardcore Carnivore Cowboy Butter Mix makes it ridiculously easy to create rich, restaurant-style compound butter for steaks, seafood, chicken, vegetables and BBQ. Packed with garlic, herbs, lemon peel and savoury spices, this Texas-made seasoning transforms ordinary butter into a bold finishing sauce loaded with buttery steakhouse flavour.
Created by Jess Pryles and the Hardcore Carnivore team, Cowboy Butter Mix was designed for cooks who love the flavour of homemade compound butter but do not want to spend time chopping herbs, crushing garlic and balancing seasoning every time they cook. Just mix it with softened butter and you instantly have a flavour-packed cowboy butter ready for steaks, seafood, roast vegetables, bread and more.
The flavour profile balances savoury garlic, onion and herbs with citrus brightness from lemon peel and a mild warming spice finish. It tastes rich and buttery without becoming too heavy, making it incredibly versatile both on the BBQ and in everyday cooking.
One of the biggest reasons people love Cowboy Butter Mix is flexibility. You can make classic compound butter, melt it into a dipping sauce, stir it through vegetables or use it as a finishing glaze over grilled meats. It works equally well with reverse-seared steaks, grilled prawns, smoked chicken or crispy roast potatoes.
Unlike many premade garlic butters or compound butter sauces, Hardcore Carnivore Cowboy Butter Mix lets you control consistency and richness yourself. Use softened butter for a thick steakhouse butter or combine it with olive oil for a lighter basting sauce.
Whether you are cooking steaks over charcoal, grilling seafood on the flat plate or building the ultimate garlic bread, Cowboy Butter Mix brings massive flavour with almost no effort.
