"Other" steak sauces

[LongLiveDisney]

I HATE A1. Any other sauces you put on your steaks?

a pat of butter

Don't pour it on, but I like to dip every few bites of steak into horseradish sauce.

I don't regularly use a sauce... But I do love a good chimichurri sauce! I make mine with red wine vinegar, fresh garlic, sea salt, ground pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and minced fresh parsley, oregano and cilantro!

I like Hienz 57.

I once had a Peppercorn Merlot steak sauce at a high-end place and it was delicious!

Normally, I forgo any off the shelf sauce.

If I'm in the mood for a great steak and want to retain the hearty steak flavor, I liberally apply a mixture of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; sear both sides, apply a pat of butter on top, and finish off in the oven. (med-rare to medium)

When I pull them out, I drizzle them with the pan drippings, and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

Better than any bottled sauce in my opinion.

Now I'm hungry for a nice thick cut choice ribeye. g

The one and only original: HP Sauce. It's the only brown sauce worth using. A-1 is no competition at all.

However, I really don't use "steak sauce". Due to my Irish upbringing, I call it brown sauce, and I put it on all kinds of things, but not steak, because good steak needs no condiments, and I don't waste my money on bad steak. (If I buy cheaper cuts of beef, I slow-cook them in a liquid.)

Brown sauce is especially good with smoked pork products, such as sausage and bacon. It's also really great on pan-fried potatoes. For those reasons, brown sauce is a breakfast staple in Ireland and the UK.

BTW, what you might call the "official sandwich" of the north of England is the bacon buttie, which consists of a soft roll, lean bacon (what Americans think of as Canadian Bacon), and lashings of HP. Yummy. (Fattening, of course, but worth the occasional splurge.)

That sounds really good - do you have the specifics and do you use it for things other than steak?

I like HP ok, but I love A1. Not necessarily for steak, but I like it with cheese, potato chips, etc.

What exactly is brown sauce?

You can use it for just about anything if you like it. I've used it with pork too! But my favorite is ribeye or flank steak. If I have some Anaheim peppers in the fridge I'll mince those in too. I like hot/spicy, but not so much that it overwhelms the other flavors. That delicate balance is important to me.

But yeah...
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Salt/pepper to taste
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup minced parsley leaves
1/2 cup minced cilantro
2 tbsp fresh minced oregano

You can play with the oil/vinegar combo depending on how much sauce you need. 1/2 cup to 2 tbsp is pretty standard for any sauce mix I make. It's one of my "rule of thumb" in the kitchen.

Horseradish, chimichurri, or Pickapeppa sauce.

 

[jdb in AZ]

Jack Daniels Barbeque Sauce.

 

[Minnesota!]

Bearnaise or creamy horseradish are my go-to's. But I do LOVE A1, as well!

 

[bookgirl]

I like A1. I have used Heinz 57 but I'm not a fan.

The best is Lea and Perrins Worcestershire. Only the name brand, no store brand. I have been using the lower sodium but L&P is still the best tasting. (that and Ceasre salad dressing are the only time I willing get near any kind of fish. )

However I will say that I love some of the sauces I've had at Disney and at Steakhouses around the country, like Burgundy or Bernaise, or peppercorn.

 

[DVC-Don]

Normally no sauces on my steak. If for some reason the seasoning is not proper on the steak I'll dip in A1, but that's usually if the taste is off.

 

[LongLiveDisney]

Awesome suggestions everyone. Thank you! Keep them coming.

I agree with the PP that a good steak needs no sauce if cooked properly.

But for a good steak burger, Country Bob's All Purpose steak sauce.
