INGREDIENTS

8 tbsp Butter
2 cloves fresh garlic
2 tbsp Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp Fresh thyme
1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
Salt &
Pepper (to taste)

DIRECTIONS

Place your softened butter into a medium-size bowl and add all spices.
Using the low setting on your mixer, mix ingredients together until they’re thoroughly combined.
Use a shallow, narrow container to pour your butter into and cover it, or place it in the center of a large piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log, securing the ends. Refrigerate for up to two hours until the butter solidifies.
About 20 minutes before you’re ready to cook your steak, remove it from the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
Heat your skillet to medium and begin cooking your steak using the appropriate method for your cut of steak. Most steaks take about 3 to 5 minutes on each side for a good sear and cook.
About a minute before your steak finishes cooking, place a slice of Creole butter on top and allow it to melt.
