What is Cafe de Paris butter

Cafe de Paris butter is a compound butter made with a combination of herbs, spices and various other savoury condiments. It is usually shaped into a log and then chilled, which slices are taken off to be placed onto a hot steak which then melts into a sauce.

How to make this steak butter recipe

Add slightly softened butter to a bowl. Then add remaining ingredients to the butter. Mix well with a fork to combine. Shape into a log and wrap in baking paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Other add-in ideas

anchovies or capers - these are both salty additions, so you may want to adjust the amount of additional salt (I have used worcestershire sauce in my recipe, which contains anchovies).

tomato paste

paprika

cayenne pepper

My top tips for making this recipe

I have used unsalted butter so that you are able to control the amount of salt that's in the finished butter. This recipe makes 10 slices or serves of flavoured butter - each serve is approximately a tablespoon.

You can slice the butter into serves, then freeze for later use.

Also a great addition to mashed potato, just add some on top - tastes ah-mazing!!!
