The Best Sauces For Steak

Steak – Fresh from The Online Butcher

first of all, let’s talk about quality. Not all steaks are equal. If you are going to cook steak and chips then make that steak a juicy one!

Personally, I love my steak as is. A splash of garlic butter over it and no more. But sauces for steaks are really popular. Some of you find the simple cut of meat a little too simple, preferring something to cover it. Don’t forget that you don’t have to soak your steak in it’s sauce. You can always invest is some stainless steel jugs and and let your guests pour to their preference. šŸ™‚
