Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

The Ponderosa Steakhouse (and sister restaurant, Bonanza) has been known for their steaks and extensive buffets since the 1960's. Their steak sauce adds the signature slightly sweet, slightly tangy flavor to your favorite cuts of steak.
1/3 cup Heinz 57 sauce
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup A-1 steak sauce
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Combine as listed and funnel into bottle with tight fitting cap. Keep refrigerated to use in a few months.
Shake well before using.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I've made this several times and it is very close to the steakhouse sauce. I prefer to substitute Maple Syrup for the corn Syrup.

The 1 star review must be spam because this is the BEST steak sauce. It's not too runny or too spicy (it's not spicy at all).

LOTS of flavor in this sauce!

Better than any steak sauce you can buy!

I omit the corn syrup because most of the other ingredients already have it and I don't feel this needs more sweetness. It's a good sauce, don't have any idea what Ponderosa's sauce is like as I've never even seen one of those restaurants, but it's a good all purpose steak sauce.

This sauce is not quite like the sauce from Ponderosa but it is amazingly easy to make and takes delicious. My roommates and I love the sauce and will never use another sauce with steaks, burgers, and it even goes well with Shrimp!!!

EXCELLENT STEAK Sauce! This recipe is GREAT! It does not overwhelm the flavor of the beef.

I use 2-3 times the amount of light corn syrup when I make this recipe. It is delicious. My son-in-law (a fantastic cook) tells me it is the best steak sauce he's ever had. I keep a bottle in my refrigerator and when his bottle is empty I make more and send his bottle back full.

Too runny and too spicy it does not taste anything like the sauce.
