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.

common recipe questions


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.

What's the role of lemon juice in the sauce?

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?

While designed for steak, it can also be delicious on other meats like chicken or pork.

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?

It's best used as a finishing sauce due to its butter content, which may burn if used as a marinade.
