This recipe is adapted from one by Omar Captain, a dedicated all round foodie from Marlow in Berkshire, England. Omar has refined his recipe over a period of 2 years and now feels it is the definative cafe de paris butter. "The sauce is best with a good fillet steak but can be eaten with chicken" he says.

We enjoyed this butter served with fish aboard the Norwegian Star during an Alaskan cruise. After we told him how much we enjoyed this sauce the chef sent a copy of the recipe to our stateroom. [I posted this recipe.]
