I was headed down to Findlay Market after school today, and sent The Bride a text inquiring what she may have a hankering for; she responded "obnoxiously large steak." This meant a visit to Mackie Meats where I would acquire two monster porterhouses. I then headed home and perused The Guide for something that I could use. I discovered that I still had a steak sauce recipe to prepare, and actually had everything I needed for the Siren Steak Sauce on page 48.
There really isn't too much to say about making a steak sauce. So let's get to it. The only cool thing I did was figure out a cool way to let the molasses drip out of the measuring cup. I suspended the cup over the saucepan using the handles while I gathered the rest of the ingredients.
Simmer, simmer, simmer until it is reduced!
I made Provencal green beans, and a nice potato gratin for the sides, and The Bride prepared her famous (should be) blue cheese sauce.
The Bride desired obnoxiously large steaks, and I believe I delivered.
I'll just say this...the Siren Steak Sauce is a good sauce. It's just misnamed. This is a good barbecue sauce. In fact, it probably would be downright fantastic for chicken wings. It just is a terrible sauce for steak, especially porterhouse.
