Lone Star Steak House Steak Sauce

For a smoother sauce, strain it to remove garlic bits.

Experiment with adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for a flavor twist.

If the sauce separates, whisk it vigorously or blend it briefly.

Serve the sauce warm for the best flavor and texture.

Do I have to use unsalted butter?

Using unsalted butter lets you control the saltiness of the sauce. If you only have salted butter on hand, you probably won't need any additional salt between that and the Worcestershire sauce (even the low sodium version will be a bit salty). We recommend using unsalted butter in this recipe.

Can I substitute the Tabasco sauce with another hot sauce?

Yes, but the flavor may change slightly. Choose a hot sauce that complements the other ingredients.

Lemon juice adds a tangy, fresh flavor that balances the richness of the butter.

Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?

Fresh garlic is preferred for its flavor, but you can use 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder as a substitute.

Can this sauce be made in advance?

Yes, but it may solidify when cooled. Gently reheat before serving.

How should I store leftover sauce?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before using.

Is this sauce only suitable for steak?

What's the best way to serve this sauce with steak?

Serve it on the side or drizzle over the steak after grilling.

Can I use this sauce as a marinade?
