Cafe di Paris Compound Butter

Cafe di Paris Compound Butter is the classic butter that is served atop a beautiful piece of steak that has been grilled to perfection. This butter can be found served at restaurants throughout the world. 

Created in the 1940s in Switzerland, the distinct, Cafe di Paris flavors were originally based on a sauce, who’s ingredients are a well-kept secret.

Adding a slice of the butter to a still hot steak, allows it to melt and create its own sauce. 

The butter is best served on a nice piece of prime rib, or a grilled piece of pork and served with a side of Buttery Cauliflower Mash or Sour Cream & Chive Broccoli Mash.

The recipe makes 10 serves, one serve is 1 tablespoon.

  1. This is fantastic. I’ve been looking for a recipe for this. I made up one similar but without the anchovies. I’m also thinking of making up a dessert butter mix for pancakes, with natvia or norbu, and cinnamon.
