Treat your ingredients with care...

• Worcestershire sauce — Use a good quality Worcestershire sauce for the best flavor. Look for one that is gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
• Dijon mustard — Opt for a smooth Dijon mustard to ensure a creamy texture in the sauce.
• Apple cider vinegar — If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute it with red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar.
• Honey — Adjust the amount of honey according to your desired level of sweetness. You can also substitute it with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
• Smoked paprika — Smoked paprika adds a delightful smoky flavor to the sauce. If you don't have it, regular paprika can be used as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce.
• Allow the sauce to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• This sauce can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
• Experiment with different types of mustard, such as whole grain or English mustard, to add unique flavors to the sauce.
• Drizzle the sauce over grilled vegetables or use it as a dipping sauce for roasted potatoes.

Serving advice

Serve this British-inspired steak sauce alongside a perfectly cooked steak. Drizzle it over the steak or serve it on the side for dipping. This sauce also pairs well with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or as a condiment for sandwiches.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, pour the sauce into a small serving jug or individual sauce dishes. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or a drizzle of olive oil for an elegant touch.
