Author Notes
This recipe is just an idea of what Café de Paris butter might be. The real ingredients of the butter from the famous café in Geneva are a closely guarded secret. Apparently it is handed down from guardian to guardian. It was first made in 1930, and is now supplied to restaurants around the world from the original kitchen. At the Café de Paris, steak with the compound butter is the only main dish on the menu, such was its success. This makes enough to accompany four steaks. —Canalcook
