There are so many different ways to add flavor to steak, from a hearty mushroom steak sauce, to homemade bbq rub to bold and savory steak sauce. What I love about this sauce is that it comes together so quickly, and is delicious with all different types of meat.
How Do You Make This Steak Sauce Recipe?
To make this steak sauce recipe, start by placing ketchup, Dijon mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, honey, hot sauce and seasonings in a medium sized bowl. Stir everything together until a smooth sauce forms. Use the sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later use. Enjoy this steak sauce with tender and juicy cuts of beef like grilled flank steak, New York strip steak, rib eye steak and sirloin steak!
Tips For The Perfect Sauce
Look for a ketchup that has no high fructose corn syrup, the flavor will be better. This sauce stays fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze the sauce for future use. Simply thaw the sauce in the refrigerator and it will be ready to use. You stir this sauce together in a bowl. There’s no need to heat the sauce. While this sauce is obviously delicious with steak, I also serve it with grilled chicken, pork tenderloin or on hamburgers. It also makes a great dip for homemade french fries!
Steak sauce flavor variations
This sauce is delicious as-is, but you can add other ingredients to customize it to your tastes.
Garlic Lovers: Add 2 teaspoons of sauteed garlic instead of the garlic powder listed in the recipe. Simply peel and mince garlic cloves and cook them in a small pan on medium heat with butter. Sweet and Savory: Increase the amount of honey to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Mexican Style: Add 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of coriander and 1 teaspoon of lime juice. Asian Style: Swap out the Worcestershire sauce for low sodium soy sauce. Add 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Spicy: You can up the heat level by using more hot sauce, or add buffalo wing sauce or sriracha sauce to taste. Another option is to add 2 teaspoons of canned chipotle peppers. Tangy: Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice for some zing. Creamy: Stir in 1/3 cup mayonnaise for a creamier sauce.
What condiments go with steak?
Steak sauce is always a delicious accompaniment to beef, but there are plenty of other options to try.
Compound Butter: Mix softened butter with herbs, garlic, spices and other flavorings such as lemon zest. Place 2 teaspoons of the butter on top of your cooked steaks. Herbs: Fresh herbs are the perfect complement to decadent steak. Try a basil pesto, parsley gremolata or chimichurri sauce. Salsa: Steak goes well with all types of salsa, from salsa verde, to pico de gallo, or even a fresh pineapple salsa. Tapenade: I love to add a scoop of olive, artichoke or sun dried tomato tapenade on top of a steak. Aioli: Mix garlic, herbs and spices into mayonnaise to make a creamy sauce for your meat.
Once you try this steak sauce, you’ll find yourself whipping up a batch almost every week – it’s just that good!
