STEAK SAUCES
In the United States, steak sauce is a generic term used for various premade sauces for serving with meat. Most commonly, it refers to sauces served with beef and of western origin. The term "steak sauce" is derived from these sauces often being served with steak in restaurants. These sauces are normally brown or orange in color and often made from tomatoes, spices, vinegar, and raisins. Some contain anchovies. The taste is either tart or sweet with a peppery taste similar to Worcestershire sauce, made by Lea & Perrins. Often, Worcestershire sauce is referred to as a steak sauce, but it is not thick like other varieties. The steak sauces found in this category are hot and spicier gourmet steak sauces made with with various chili peppers.
