Questions about Steak sauce
What is steak sauce made from?
Steak sauce is a tangy, savoury table sauce, often made with tomato, vinegar, sugar, spices and ingredients such as tamarind or Worcestershire sauce. Recipes differ, so the flavour can range from fruity and sweet to sharp and peppery.
How much steak sauce should you serve with a steak?
A tablespoon is a handy serving alongside a steak; you can add more at the table rather than coating the meat, which can hide its flavour. A tablespoon contains 560 mg of sodium.
Can you cook steak sauce in a pan sauce?
Yes. After frying the steak, take the pan off the heat, pour away excess fat, then stir in a spoonful of steak sauce with a splash of stock or water, scraping up the browned bits; warm gently so its sugars do not catch.
Can you use steak sauce as a marinade?
You can brush it over steak before grilling or use it as part of a marinade, but wipe off excess sauce before cooking over high heat: the sugars can burn before the meat is done. For a stronger marinade, mix it with oil and a little vinegar.
What goes well with steak sauce besides steak?
Try it with burgers, meatloaf, sausages or a cheese sandwich. A little stirred into gravy or a savoury pie filling adds a tangy, spiced note.
What can you use instead of steak sauce?
For a similar tangy, savoury flavour, mix Worcestershire sauce with a little tomato purée and vinegar, then sweeten lightly if needed. Barbecue sauce works in a pinch but is usually sweeter and more smoky.
How is steak sauce different from barbecue sauce?
Steak sauce is generally sharper and more vinegary, while barbecue sauce tends to be sweeter and smoky. Barbecue sauce has 172 kcal per 100 g, compared with 95 kcal in steak sauce.
How should you store steak sauce after opening?
Keep the bottle tightly closed and follow its storage instructions after opening; some sauces need refrigeration, while others do not. Wipe the neck clean before closing to prevent sticky residue building up.
