Devil's Steak Sauce

I was very skeptical about this recipe, even after I tasted it by itself I thought it had a strange flavor, but with steak, WOW - I loved it! I didn't have jam so I used some frozen raspberries and it still turned out fine. Served with grilled ribeye. It was thick and delicious. Really, someone should bottle this stuff; they'd make a fortune!

This sauce was so amazing, I joined the site just to share my experience. I love venison and thought this sauce would be good with game. I adjusted the recipe based on reviews others had given. Some said it was too sweet, so I used one tablespoon of brown sugar to three tablespoons of jam (I used seedless boysenberry preserves). Some complained that it was too watery, so I used one tablespoon of tomato paste in place of the tomato sauce. I also used a habenero hot sauce. I agree that the quantity was small, so if you are serving more than two people, or want leftovers, adjust accordingly. I drizzled the sauce over Medallions of Venison Tenderloin (cooked rare/medium rare)served with garlic mashed potatoes and a good Cab for a true gourmet meal that was as good if not better than venison I've had at the fanciest restaurants. I would be proud to serve this to my most discerning guests. For leftovers to die for, try my “fancy cheese steaks”: spread sauce on a baguette, slice your leftover meat as thin as possible and top with caramelized onions (optional) and blue cheese crumbles.

Wow. I made this last night to use with steak and it was amazing. I didn't have all the ingredients on hand so I used apricot jelly instead of the raspberry jam and apple cidar vinegar inteast of malt. Everything else I followed to the letter, and it came out GREAT! My boyfriend loved dinner even though the steaks were a little under done for him (perfect for me!) I feel like this recipe with the apricot would be good on chicken too.

Oh my. As a rule, I don't buy commercial steak sauces; just don't like them. After reading the reviews on this recipe, I prepared this sauce to go with two grilled steaks and I have to say that this is the BEST!! I am fortunate to have some homemade raspberry jam in my refrigerator. The combination of flavors is out of this world. This sauce is tangy, complex and complements everythig. I mean, we put it on our steaks, potatoes, grilled onions....Bernard, you have created a masterpiece. Thank you. I will be making this again and again and again. This deserves 10 stars! I still have some left - it's like a little jar of gold sitting in my refrigerator calling me......

Yum! The first time I made this, I followed the recipe exactly, but it tasted too much like worcestershire sauce. So the next time I made this I used *slightly* less and I also doubled the recipe and added 1/4 cup frozen raspberries (melted and mashed up). It tasted extra sweet, but I love that. If really sweet sauce isn't your thing, then don't do what I did. But using a little less worcestershire sauce would help either way.

Okay...this recipe is awesome!! At first I tasted just the sauce only and I was too afraid to put it on the meat...then i cooked a small portion of round eye and let me tell you, it was perfect! I forgot the ketchup and used apple cider vinegar instead and only one T of jam and it worked out great!! LOVE IT!! I don't like eating my meat with A1 sauce so I'm thrilled to have this recipe!! THANK YOU!

This was really good. It was a little to sweet though, so I think next time I'll cut back on the sugar. I made it with blackberry jam, as I didn't have raspberry, but it complemented our steaks nicely. Thanks for the recipe!

My family is crazy for this sauce. A true hit. My grandpa gave it 10 stars (out of 5!!)

Just delish! I think this would be awesome on chicken also! I used tomato paste instead of sauce, and upped the hot sauce a bit. A really wonderful sauce!!

Wow, what a great sauce! I purchased ingredients specifically for this recipe and I made it exactly (something I don't do often). As such, we found this too sweet for our taste and next time we will cut the sugar in half. Other than that, this was mmm mmm good! By the way, there were 4 of us eating strip steaks tonight, and due to the rave reviews I doubled the recipe, I am not sorry that I did so! This sauce is a bit runny, so you might want to be prepared to simmer this longer than called for. This is also great on baked potatoes!!!
