It's so quick and easy to whip up a flavorful sauce to go with your grilled steak, that you'll wonder why you'd ever reach for the ready-made stuff. Give these simple homemade steak sauces a try at your next cookout, and you just might find your new summer taste sensation.
Sauce up your steaks.
Ready in just 10 minutes, this classic Argentinian sauce is a spicy, tangy, pungent mix of garlic, herbs, and vinegar, with a touch of hot pepper sauce, that pairs beautifully with all kinds of grilled meats and vegetables. Tip: This sauce isn't meant to be thick, so when you pulse the ingredients in your blender, stop when it's finely chopped but before it becomes a purée.
Although you can whip up this easy sauce in mere minutes, Chef John suggests you refrigerate it for a couple of hours to let the flavors develop.
And the secret ingredient is...raspberry jam! BUNKYLION says, "Oh my. As a rule, I don't buy commercial steak sauces; just don't like them. After reading the reviews on this recipe, I prepared this sauce to go with two grilled steaks and I have to say that this is the BEST!"

This rich, sweet, peppery steak sauce really makes the meal here. It's also a delicious sauce for spooning over pork chops and roasted or grilled chicken. "Mastering pan sauces is one of the most important but easiest steps towards producing legit restaurant-quality dishes at home," says Chef John. "Assemble all the sauce ingredients before cooking the steak so you can make the sauce during the 5-minute resting time for steak."
