Miso Steak Sauce

Steak dinner happens quite regularly in our house.  I'm a big fan of just simple salt & pepper on the steak and let the excellent quality meat do the talking.  However, from time to time, you gotta mix it up and whip up a tasty sauce.  Something a little different this week but equally as tasty.  Miso steak sauce or Miso ketchup if you wanna be hipster cool 😉

ingredients for making miso steak sauce

INGREDIENTS

Simple ingredients that if you are like me, you have in the cupboard and fridge.  Miso has a cracking shelf (fridge) life.  Once you open it, store it in the refrigerator, and it will keep for close to a year.  I use white miso in this miso steak sauce.

Kecap Manis - a sweet, thicker soy sauce.  It's easy to find in the supermarkets and also has a great shelf life.  If you can't get hold of it, then you can simmer soy sauce and brown sugar until it's a thicker sweeter taste.

Smoked paprika & cayenne pepper adds a nice smokey flavour and some heat too.  Cayenne pepper is pretty spicy, so be wary of how much you add!

Lime adds juicy acidity and helps balance the sauce too.

Whisking the butter in will emulsify the sauce.  The key here is to remove the sauce from the heat and whisk it in small bits at a time.  You want it to gently blend into the sauce rather than melt quickly.  A classic technique used in restaurants all over.

HOW TO MAKE MISO STEAK SAUCE

Simple is the name of the game here.  So darn simple that while your steak rests, you can whip it up.  I guess the disadvantage of that is I would typically use that time for a beer so now I need to multi-task, but I think we can figure it out 😉

Basically, get all the ingredients and pop them into a saucepan and mix them all together. Once heated, then all you need to do is whisk the butter in at the end! Sauce made.

CAN I REFRIGERATE MISO STEAK SAUCE

You sure can!  The beauty of it is that you can whip it up in minutes, but if you make too much, then it can defo be stored in the fridge and reheated.  Truthfully, it will harden in the refrigerator due to the butter, but it will warm up just fine to use again.  I wouldn't be re-heating it on the regular, though!

Tips/Tricks

  • make sure the butter is cold and you remove the sauce from the heat and whisk it into the sauce

    I love the umami taste of Miso and know this will go so well with a juicy steak! My friend told me I always make a good sauce and I think this one might just accumulate to one of those good sauces I make!
