Garlic butter, also known as beurre à la bourguignonne, is a compound butter used as a flavoring for many dishes or as a condiment.

[1] It is composed of butter and garlic mixed into a paste.

In the United States, garlic butter in small cups is sometimes served with seafood (such as lobster), pizza, or breadsticks as a dip.

To prolong shelf life, the dip may use clarified butter or flavored oils.
