Skip the store-bought bottle and whip up this bold, tangy steak sauce right in your own kitchen. Packed with layers of flavor from ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, and a touch of Dijon, this sauce balances sweet, savory, and zesty notes beautifully. It’s simmered slowly to bring everything together, then strained for a smooth finish that pairs perfectly with grilled steaks, burgers, pork chops, or even roasted vegetables. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never want to go back to the pre-made stuff.
