For the best flavor, use high-quality unsalted butter. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. This butter is best used the same day for maximum freshness, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Try adding a clove of minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor. Serve a generous tablespoon of the butter atop freshly grilled steak, chicken, fish, or vegetables.
