I’ve never made this particular sauce, but I’ve looked up a bunch of other recipes of the same and it seems that your one missing ingredient according to some ” historic” descriptions is a lot of crushed black pepper.
They descrbed it as a “peppery sauce”. Thanks!

Susan — Go and try it! :-)

Arnold — Thanks. I’ll send you the bill! Haha.

Michelle — Thanks for dropping by! Let me know if it tastes good with chicken!

Hillary — Thanks! Yeah, I love that combo, too. This is a nice ‘light’ sauce when compared to the creamy counterparts.

Jennifer Robin — Haha. Go ’steak’ your claim!

Kevin — Thanks!

Rowdy — We’ll all end up just eating. :) thanks! I realized we’ve never used cornstarch for steak sauces prior to this recipe, too.

We need to come over for photography lessons… and some food…

Great stuff you guys.

I rarely use cornstarch unless frying or doing Asian sauces. I might try using a little cornstarch slurry for my steak sauces and see what happens.

Cheers

i'm the same way with shopping! pick up some basic proteins, get whatever produce is looking good, grab whatever pantry staples have been used up, and i'm good to go. i almost made this exact same thing last night, but with chicken instead of beef. i have other dinner plans tonight, but i now know what's for dinner tomorrow! michelle @ the smackdown's last blog post..When life gives you lemons, make orzo with goat cheese and spring veggies.

The CAPTCHA I just had to complete said 'feast'. This is very apt for this recipe, those mushrooms look extremely yummy. Thanks for yet another winner, again this one is headed for the family recipe book. If you keep this up I will have to start paying royalties on all the recipes I am using. arnold's last blog post..Internet security

Dan — Oh yeah, forgot about that. I was surprised by the bad reviews.

Elle — Thanks! Hope you get to try it!

Ben — Yeah, the menu plan goes out the window when we get to the grocery store. The sauce really is good. Chicken sounds like a good candidate, especially for white meat. It’ll get a good flavor. :)

Ada — No worries! Don’t censor your food preferences. :) Dan’s a picky eater, too, and doesn’t like mushrooms. He had a few pieces from the sauce, though.
