Strip steaks are pan-grilled and served with a unique sauce made from ketchup, horseradish, honey, maple syrup, ancho chile powder, and Dijon mustard.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

A strip steak, cooked right, is usually excellent in my opinion. The sauce was sort of a cross between Heinz 57 and cocktail sauce. It probably would be a great condiment for an order of "steak and shrimp!"

If you've read my reviews with any regularity you know I love a good steak. And you would also know that I typically don't care for any sauces or toppings that take away from a nice cut of beef. I wanted to love the Mesa Sauce on this because of the unique blend of ingredients. The horseradish made it taste too much like cocktail sauce so I couldn't fully enjoy it. I would reduce that or even omit it because I just didn't feel it went well with the other flavors. In my opinion the sauce would be fantastic without it (or significantly less of it) and would yield 5 stars for the recipe.
