Whether you are having an intimate dinner for two, or just a regular weeknight meal, these steak sauces are the perfect addition to our made-to-order steaks.


Maitre d’Hotel Butter (compound butter)

What You’ll Need:
½ lb (2 sticks) softened butter
Zest from 1 lemon (save flesh for another use)
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tsp thyme
Salt & Pepper

What To Do:
Let butter sit at room temperature to soften.
In a medium bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until evenly blended. Place on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a cylinder. Place in the refrigerator to firm up.

Horseradish Whipped Cream

What You’ll Need:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
2 tbsp chives
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

What To Do:
In a medium bowl, whisk heavy cream until thickened, but not yet at soft peaks. Mix in crème fraîche, horseradish, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.


Blue Cheese Sauce

What You’ll Need:
8 oz heavy cream
6 oz crumbled blue cheese, divided
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce

What To Do:
In a medium sauce pan reduce the cream by 1/3 over medium heat. Reduce heat to a low simmer and whisk in 4 oz of the cheese. Add the Worcestershire and Tabasco; continue to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Just before serving add remaining blue cheese.


Peppercorn Sauce

What You’ll Need:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 large shallots, sliced
1 1/2 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
1/2 tsp white peppercorns, crushed
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tsp red or white wine vinegar
1 container Brodo, Signature Hearth flavor (or 2 cups each chicken and veal stock)
1/2 cup brandy
1 cup heavy cream

What To Do:
Sweat the shallots in butter. Add the crushed peppercorn and toast briefly. Add the wine and vinegar; reduce until almost dry. Reserving one tablespoon of brandy, add the rest to the pan and reduce by a third. Add the Brodo and reduce by three quarters. Add the cream and remaining brandy and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.


Red Wine Sauce

What You’ll Need:
1 tbsp grapeseed oil or other neutral oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of thyme
1 clove of garlic, minced
2/3 cup button mushrooms, roughly chopped
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
1 bottle dry red wine
1 container Brodo Beef Bone Broth
3 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

What To Do:
Sweat the shallots with thyme, bay leaf and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add mushrooms, red wine vinegar and sugar; reduce until almost dry. Then add the red wine and reduce to a syrup. Add the Brodo and reduce sauce until a thick consistency. Strain. Upon serving, whisk in butter over a low heat until melted and warm.

Armed with Paulette Satur's plant science degree and Chef Eberhard Müller's passion for culinary perfection, they set about growing their farming business together. Today, Satur Farms produces specialty salads, leafy veggies, root veggies, and herbs on 250 acres on Lond Island and 500 acres in the winter in Flordia to deliver the freshest produce year-round. Plus, as a sustainable farming operation following European farming techniques, they're socially responsible and pay employees living wages - win-win.

• 1 tsp pink salt
• 1 container of mirepoix (chopped onion, carrot and celery)

Add in meat of choice or tofu. Stir around and crumble using a wooden spoon until all the meat is mostly cooked.

Add in chili powder, cayenne (if using) and cumin. Stir ingredients around in the pot to prevent burning.
