WARNING: This blog post could get us in trouble with most Texans, as serving steak sauce with steak is not only against the Texas State Constitution, but it could get someone jailed, or worse!
You see, as one of our GrillJunkie founders explains,
"Steak, in Texas, is served with nothing but salt and pepper, a.k.a. S and P. And it is only grilled long enough to make it appear cooked, rather than rare. We Texans take our steak VERY SERIOUSLY, in steak-land. Tell someone you ate your steak with steak sauce and you're in danger. It’s just not done that way in Texas."
With utmost respect to all Texans, we have 3 excuses to continue writing and share our steak sauce recipe!
1. We love steak sauce.
2. Four of us were raised in raised in New Mexico. And old habits die hard.
3. It's fun and easy to make...and it is delicious!
This Homemade Steak Sauce is heartier and sweeter than the acidic steak sauces that come in the bottles from the grocery store. And we like it that way. It’s thick and hearty, and it’s the perfect companion for a nice, medium-rare hunk of irresistible meat. But, don’t take our word for it. Make some for yourself! It’s easy to make and is ready in mere minutes!
Homemade Steak Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp. molasses
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 8 shakes of hot sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste

This Homemade Steak Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed jar for up to a month. But believe us…it won’t last a month. This Homemade Steak Sauce is worth going against the accepted “law” of steak-land. You’ll throw the steak purists out of your way to get to this simple sauce! Just be respectful. We're all Americans and we're all in this together.
