![]() (An Homage to Peter Luger Steak House Style Sauce-Brooklyn) How you doin’? As I write this blog my mouth is watering for a slice of Peter Luger’s Porterhouse Steak. You may have heard of it or if you travel to NYC often you might have gone there at least once. I had a friend who made Luger’s a once-a-week visit to satisfy his inner carnivore (definitely not a place for vegetarians). Due to the pandemic, the restaurant is currently closed for dine-in service, but they are making some items available for pick-up or delivery. Peter Luger is still the one and only “monument to meat” in Brooklyn. Since 1887 they have been serving buttery 26-day house-aged, USDA Prime Porterhouse Steaks. And then there is the service—all I can say is, “it’s Brooklyn” and the servers are “Noo Yawkers” who speak “Brooklynese.” Zagat defines the service, “… cantankerous career waiters in a “busy” “old-time” German beer hall setting.” This rough-and-tumble style only adds to the charm. The prices are steep even by New York standards. Bring a bundle of cash ‘cause they don’t take credit (debit cards are accepted, and credit cards are accepted for online ordering). The best deal, if you just want to kick the tires a bit, is the Peter Luger lunch burger. They grind the USDA steak trimmings from their prized dry aged porterhouse to make a no-fills, lunch-only burger for under 15 bucks. But as delicious as their beef is, I didn’t come here to talk about steaks—I want to talk about their sauce. Peter Luger Steak House Old Fashioned Sauce is an all-purpose condiment that is not only great on steak, but also as a salad dressing, on slabs of red ripe tomatoes and avocados, burgers, chicken and even a great base sauce for pizza. Like most things Luger, it is the best! They began bottling and selling their sauce after customers begged for it. The taste is somewhere between cocktail sauce (spicy with a touch of horseradish) and traditional steak sauce. I started hacking it nearly 20-years ago. Another plus… the sauce is fat-free. So, with great humility, I would like to share with you my hack on Peter Luger Steak House Old Fashioned Sauce. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Cool time: 30 minutes Yield: 24 ounces Ingredients 12 ounces ketchup (I prefer Heinz) 4-3/4 ounces apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3.75 ounces Worcestershire Sauce (I prefer Lea & Perrins) 2 tablespoons freshly minced white onion 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh, finely-grated horseradish Directions
ChefSecret: If you are running out of time, some supermarkets carry Peter Luger Sauce in the meat department—it is a bit pricey. #Sauce #Steak #PeterLuger #Dressing #PerspectivesTheConsultingGroup #QuarantineKitchen #Covid19
