A dab of this spicy, creamy butter on a tender steak, burger, or corn on the cob is all you'll need for super flavor! Even slather on crusty bread and grill or broil until golden for your family - they'll love it. I use this on everything. Fish, veggies...and just got a brainstorm to put it on popcorn. Adjust the heat by adding or taking away some of the pepper.

Once you make this chipotle butter once, you'll want it on hand to spread on everything. It's a smoky and slightly spicy compound butter. Lime juice and cilantro add layers of flavor and give this a Southwest feel. This compound butter reminds us of milder cowboy butter. Add a few pats to spice up an ordinary steak or spread on hot biscuits or rolls.

How To Make chipotle butter

Step 1

In a small bowl whip the butter, with an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy.

Step 2

Add the minced peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Whip until incorporated.
Step 3

Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill. The longer it sits, the deeper the color and richer the flavor.
Step 4

Just before serving put 1 tsp of the cold butter on cooked steak or burgers and allow it to melt over the top. For bread, leave softened for easier spreading. Makes 24 1 tsp servings.
