    Substitutions and Variations

    • Liquid Smoke - Smoked paprika
    • Minced Garlic - Use garlic powder instead
    • Tomato Sauce - Use ketchup instead, we've done it on more than one occasion and result is definitely sweeter so you may want to reduce sugar.
    • Steak - This barbecue sauce tastes great on regular hamburgers or air fryer hamburgers or all cuts of beef.
    • Spicy - Add a teaspoon of chili pepper flakes, jalapeno powder, smoked jalapeno powder, or chipotle powder to the sauce mixture to add some heat, if desired. I will also occasionally add a teaspoon of our homemade hot pepper sauce, or use your favorite hot sauce, to the sauce mixture.

    Storage

    Refrigerator: Store for up to a week in an air-tight container.

    What to Serve with Steak Sauce

    Of course, you'll want to top your steak with this sauce. But you can also top baked potatoes with it, as well. It also makes a great dipping sauce or recipe addition.

    FAQ

    You definitely can as both can be used interchangeably.

    What's the difference between steak sauce and barbecue sauce?

    Steak sauce is usually used for cooking at high temperatures, whereas barbecue sauce is better for slower-cooked foods because the sugar can scorch easily.
