Pour over steak before it's cooked, or dip steak bites in for a delicious treat!

Because it's a butter-based sauce, this delicious western sauce can be used to baste steak, too!

Let this sauce thicken in the fridge and then spread it on toast or rub it on raw meat like a butter rub for incredible flavor.

If you want your sauce a little sweeter, add a bit of honey! It'll melt into the warmed butter perfectly and thicken alongside it for chilling later.

If you're using this sauce to dip raw steak in before cooking it, set a portion aside for use later to avoid cross-contamination.
