About Steak sauce

Steak sauce is a category of savoury condiment served with meat, not a single standardized recipe. Many versions combine acidic ingredients such as vinegar with fruit or vegetable ingredients, sweeteners and spices, but the precise formulation differs by brand and region.

It is generally pourable and dark, with a tangy, sweet-sour and spiced flavour; some versions are thicker or more strongly flavoured than others. It is served at the table or used in marinades and cooking. Bottled sauces may differ substantially in ingredients, texture and intensity.
