What do you think is the best sauce to have on a steak?

longzheng · 28-10-2012, 11:57

My favorite sauce to have on a steak is Stilton cheese sauce, what is your favorite type of sauce to have on a steak?

fizzle90 · 28-10-2012, 11:59

I usually get a red wine sauce, but I get my sauce separate, I think a good steak should stand alone.

I normally just have some Colmans english mustard with it.

Welsh-lad · 28-10-2012, 12:51

Nothing.

Peppercorn, diane etc, I don't like any of them.
To me there's nothing like a steak on its own, in its own juice. Lovely.

Peppercorn, if made right. Not the rubbish that is served in 90% of places.

wonderwall2012 · 28-10-2012, 13:36

Creamy Pepper sauce that you get a in a sachet from any supermarket, DELICIOUS.

You get a mild version too if you look.

indianwells · 28-10-2012, 13:51

I'm with the steak on it's own brigade with just the pan juices. Although Bearnaise is a nice accompaniment now and then.

Creamy Pepper sauce is my second favorite sauce to have on a steak... mmmmm.....

Babycakes15 · 28-10-2012, 14:02

Either Port and Silton or Au Poivre. I only have a little bit of it on my steak though, prefer it for my chips

Rab64 · 28-10-2012, 14:11

NONE I likr the taste of steak, do not wish any trendy flavour sauce with it.IMO sauses are to hide poor quality (originally rotten) meat

cbe21ok · 28-10-2012, 14:32

All i like with mine is a pile of piping hot chips.

I like steak on its own

This.

Although I normally have my steak with chips and I like ketchup with my chips

GiraffeGirl · 28-10-2012, 16:11

No sauce poured over the steak.

But ketchup to dunk it and the chips in

I like to mop the juices up with garlic bread too.

I always eat way too much if I have steak.

I often have it on its own too apart from seasoning. But if i do have a sauce its peppercorn.

You may find it very surprising but there are loads of people here in this thread that appreciate the taste of the actual steak.

PhoenixRises · 28-10-2012, 17:22

I like to add a splash of water to the pan and crumble an oxo cube into it and then add the steak juices off the plate. It isn't a sauce per se but it is nice.

Stop it!!!! Stop it right now! You are making me soooooo hungry!

degsyhufc · 28-10-2012, 17:36

I used to eat a lot of steak. Not so much now but a year or two back I was once a week and before that it was twice a week.

As not to get bored I had something different every time be it red wine, peppercorn/diane/mushroom, bernaise, blue cheese, five spiced, indian spiced etc. and also plain.

The best i've had recently for a sauce was bernaise.
The best steak i've had recently was seasoned with five spice and cayenne pepper.
