Top Steak Sauces
Whether you’re new to cooking or an old pro in the kitchen, if you’re looking to enhance the flavor of your next steak, then you may want to try adding a steak sauce to the dinner menu. While steak rubs and marinades impact a steak’s flavor ahead of time, steak sauce is easy to add after the meat is cooked. The great thing about steak sauce is that it’s something the diner adds themselves to control the intensity of flavor on their individual plate. There are lots of different steak sauces out there, so it’s worth trying a variety to see what you like. And, in addition to using steak sauce with steak, these sauces are versatile enough to be used in a variety of recipes, from casseroles to meatloaf to overall marinades. Here are four steak sauces to try first.
Best for Worcestershire Fans
Lea & Perrins Bold Steak Sauce
The Flavor of One Sauce in the Body of Another. Get your Worcestershire fix with a new kind of sauce.
What We Liked
If you love Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce (which the brand is arguably known for more than anything else), but you find that Worcestershire sauce isn’t really the right consistency for dipping or spreading, then you’ll definitely want to try this steak sauce. It has a taste very similar to Worcestershire sauce, but with the thickness of a steak sauce. Buy Here.
