sauce for steak

[redcrx]

whats your favourite sauce for steak?
do you have any simple ideas for a nice sauce?
or any for any other meat.

I make a easy sauce with phili, mushrooms, onions and mustard that always goes down well with a nice fillet or ribeye but looking for other ideas.

I either do a peppercorn sauce or if it is a fillet steak, a pat of garlic butter on top

Wild mushroom and shallot or wild mushroom and madeira. I also like a Roquefort sauce and Diane sauce. I could just eat a juicy rare steak right now.

oh yes, i like diane sauce when out at restaurants, but we tend not to have any alcohol in house unless its wine brought round by visitors so the philidelphia one is sort of my own version of diane

i love stilton sauce but it v rich. mainly tho i just like it in its own juices with a bit of mustard

[redcrx]

oooh the garlic butter on top sounds lovely, and easy :)

I dont believe you should mess about with sauces for fillet steak, hence the simplicity of the (nicely shaped) pat of garlic butter

[bedofroses]

Has to be pepper sauce and a fluffy baked potato for me. Yum.

I like peppercorn sauce.. but applied a bit at a time so you don't completely kill the flavour of the steak.

mr crx loves peppercorns, but its too strong for me. Mrs O, when you say nicely shaped do you mean a little round or something fancy like a flower lol

red - I usually just do a circle. If you were really adventurous I guess you could make the butter any shap you want - a flower, or a scale model of the Titanic.....

Hey Mrs O - one of those trendy catalogues the other day had an ice cube mould, half in the shape of an iceberg and the other half Titanic-shaped. You could use those for butter, I guess!

Mushrooms, garlic and Brandy cream sauce.

I fry some mushrooms and garlic, add brandy and the meat juices and reduce and then stir in creme fraiche, black pepper and salt. Sometimes I fry steak rather than grill and pour the sauce over the steak before serving so that all the juices are in the sauce.

Pepper corn :-)
