Steak Sauce

[BeZo]

What sauces do you guys make for your steaks? I did a Bleu cheese pan sauce today.

I've never made a sauce for a steak (only cooked one maybe twice), but based on eating out over the years, my faves are pepper sauce, Monkey Gland Sauce and Steak Dianne sauce.

Monkey Gland Sauce was hugely-popular in South Africa back in the day but nobody I've mentioned it to over here's heard of it.

It was one of those "I put that shit on everything" kinda sauces.

EDIT:
Always home-made. AFAIK you couldn't buy it way-back-when but these days everything comes in a bottle of course.

I usually just deglaze with a little beef broth and let it reduce, then pour in some cream and let it reduce and call it a day. A lot of times I'll throw extra thyme in the sauce, because thyme and beef go so well together. One day, I want to make steak au poivre and try it.

I don't eat sauce with steak. Salt and pepper, turn it and burn it.

I do that, but with minced shallot & garlic, and some warsh... worsh... wash yer sister sauce.

Nice addition. I usually have garlic in the pan, but never really have shallots as I don't know when I'm going to cook a steak usually. I suppose I could always keep a few shallots around as they're so good in dishes.

Same. If the meat is good and perfectly cooked, it shouldn't need a sauce.
I've had steak with compound butters, demi-glace, or chimichurri and i love all of that stuff too!
But it shouldn't need it imho.
I have no use for A1 or Lee & Perrins, used to use it as a kid when we couldn't afford good meat.
HP Sauce is pretty good with lamb though.

I love to taste the soul of the animal I am eating. The blood sacrifice it has made for me.

Ha!

Worcestershire sauce (I assume this is what you mean when you say Lee & Perrins) and HP sauce have been my faves since I was about 7 years old. I had pica (low mineral absorption) due to heavy metals so I craved savoury stuff like pickles, roll mops and the aforementioned sauces since that early age.

HP and Worcestershire sauces absolutely rock IMHO but as mentioned, a good steak shouldn't need any of that.

I meant Lee & Perrins steak sauce, not Worcestershire sauce.
I use Lee & Perrins worcestershire sauce all the time!
I meant this, it's better than A1 imho

Ah yes of course brother! Forgot about that one.

Yeah, Worcestershire sauce is the shit. Even on scrambled eggs. LOVE it.

If you like worcestershire, have you tried this?

It's like worcestershire sauce and soy sauce had a baby. It's strong, a little goes a long way.

I can't see the image for some reason bro' even if I download it, so I'm guessing my 13-year-old computer doesn't recognise the format even 'though it's a jpg.

 

[Robostyle]

Can you see this one? I posted it differently.

 

[Monkey Man]

Looks yum!

Thanks bro'.
