Worcestershire Sauce and Steak Sauce...
When the weather heats up, so does the
barbeque grill! If you haven’t noticed, big, thick, juicy prime
steaks are all the rage. And nothing tastes better on a
perfectly grilled steak than classic
Steak Sauce or
Worcestershire Sauce. We love grilled meats and have found that
serving a simple complementary sauce or relish takes grilled
meats to new heights. Like most people, we often reached for
the popular brands of steak or Worcestershire sauces to top our
favorite grilled steak. Disappointed by the mundane quality, we
began looking for something tastier to accompany our expensive
cuts of meat.
By chance, about eighteen months ago, one
of our favorite Napa Valley suppliers asked us to try something
new. Feeling the same disappointment in readily available steak
sauces as we were, they started experimenting with steak and
Worcestershire Sauces. The co-owner of the company, John, hails
from a long line of restaurateurs, famous for serving
mouth-watering steaks and seafood. In the ‘70s and ‘80s, John
opened several popular restaurants specializing in ribs and
steaks. So, if anyone knows how to dress a fabulous steak, it’s
Johnny!
When the sample bottle of Worcestershire
Sauce arrived in our
kitchen, I began taste testing Johnny’s new concoction against
store bought varieties. I was immediately blown away by the
difference. Many of the major brands had either metallic
undertones or had a muddiness about them. In addition, I
discovered that soon after opening, the flavor began to
deteriorate, often resulting in a very different flavor than
that of a freshly opened bottle. Since most of us rarely use an
entire bottle of sauce during one or two meals, this, at least
for me, presented a problem. Not so with Johnny’s sauces. Both
the Steak Sauce and the Worcestershire Sauce were as delicious
and flavorful upon opening as they were to the last tasty drop.
Season your favorite steak or chop with
Johnny’s
Napa Valley Barbecue's Steak Sauce or
Worcestershire
Sauce and you’ll discover that the secret to a decadent, steak
house quality grilled meat is truly “in the sauce”.
