Smoked Butter Recipe (How to Make on a Smoker)
This easy smoked butter recipe shows you how to infuse butter with rich, smoky flavor in just 30 minutes using a smoker. Perfect for steak, seafood, vegetables, and more, this simple method can be customized with garlic, herbs, or spices for endless flavor variations.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter sub plant-based butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat smoker to between 180-200℉.
- Smoke: Place ½ cup butter, 1 teaspoon garlic and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in a small cast iron skillet or other small, flat heat-proof container. Place on smoker and close the lid. Let smoke 30-35 minutes (or up to 60 minutes - but no longer). Stir halfway.
- Use: Remove from smoker and use in your favorite recipe!
Notes
- Other Add-Ins: you could also add (or instead of the garlic) add in a teaspoon of fresh, minced herbs (parsley, rosemary, thyme), a teaspoon of lemon zest, a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of minced shallots.
- Serving suggestions: dip baked crab legs in it, drizzle over a reverse seared smoked steak or serve with some corned beef and cabbage!
- Smoke Time: due to the high fat-content in butter it retains quite a bit of smokiness after just 15-30 minutes, but feel free to smoke longer: up to about 60 minutes.
- Garlic: feel free to omit the garlic if you want or you can go the other way and add more if you desire!
- Let Cool + Use Later: feel free to let the butter cool and save and use for later!
