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.
