When the BBQ gets fired up and summer evenings stretch a little longer, there’s nothing better than simple food done well. At Walker Farms, we believe it doesn’t take complicated recipes to make something special, just good ingredients and a little care in how you use them. 

Our A2 Protein Butter, made right here on the farm from our own herd’s cream, brings a rich, creamy finish to everything it touches. Whether you choose salted or unsalted, it’s a simple way to take your summer BBQ from everyday to unforgettable.

Here are a few easy ways to use butter at your next cookout:

1. Butter Basting 

One of the simplest ways to elevate BBQ cooking is by basting with melted butter while food is on the grill. It helps keep meats tender, adds depth of flavour, and creates that golden finish that makes grilled food feel extra special. Simply melt a few tablespoons of A2 Protein Butter and brush it over steaks, chicken, or corn as they cook, repeating a few times throughout grilling for richer flavour and extra moisture.

2. Finishing Butter

Sometimes the simplest finishing touch makes the biggest difference, and placing butter on hot food straight off the grill is one of those moments. It melts instantly into steaks, burgers, mushrooms, or baked potatoes, creating a rich and silky layer that brings everything together. Just add a small slice of cold A2 Protein Butter on top of freshly grilled food and let it melt naturally into the heat.

3. Flavoured Compound Butters for Summer Flavour

Compound butter is an easy way to bring extra flavour to summer BBQs, simply by mixing softened butter with herbs, spices, or a touch of sweetness. It works beautifully on everything from grilled meats to vegetables and even warm bread, adding a fresh homemade feel to every bite. Try garlic and parsley for steak, honey for corn, chili and lime for chicken, or herbs for vegetables, then roll and chill for easy slicing whenever you need it.

4. Butter for Grilled Vegetables

Vegetables fresh off the grill taste even better with a little butter melting into them. Corn, zucchini, peppers, and mushrooms all take on a richer flavour with just a small finishing touch. Brush lightly with melted butter before grilling, or add a small pat right after they come off the heat.

Simple Summer Cooking, Done Well

BBQs don’t need to be complicated to feel special. With fresh ingredients and real butter, even the simplest meals can feel like something worth slowing down for. At Walker Farms, our A2 Protein Butter is made to bring that kind of simple goodness to your table all summer long. Whether it’s a backyard BBQ, a cottage weekend, or a quiet dinner outside in the evening sun.
