1. Stir together butter, garlic, parsley, chives, mustard, lemon zest and juice, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, chili powder, and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.

2. Transfer butter mixture to a large sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper, and roll into a log, shaping as needed. Holding both ends of the plastic wrap, twist the log until it is taut and uniform in shape. Refrigerate for 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the mixture firm up.

3. To serve, remove from the refrigerator and cut into slices. Top steak, seafood, vegetables, or spread onto bread. Alternatively, melt and use as a dipping sauce.
