There have been several requests for steak sauce lately. We have tried several recipes over the years, but they just haven’t been that great. Traditional sauces are either high in carbohydrates or contain ingredients that are not Genesis friendly, such as A1, which contains corn syrup, raisin paste and preservatives. While A1 is more tomato-based, this recipe is vinegar-based. It gives a great zing of flavor to any meat. The Worcestershire Sauce in this recipe has a very small amount of sugar, but is quite small when included in the recipe, so it won’t be a problem. You can always cut the recipe in half if you don’t use it often.

When dining out, prioritize your health by avoiding pre-meal extras like cocktails and appetizers that can pack on extra fats, sugars, and carbohydrates. Opt for a refreshing seltzer or spritzer with a splash of juice instead. Always ask for butter, dressings, and sauces on the side to control portions—make sure to request real butter, as many restaurants serve margarine instead. Look for healthier preparation methods, such as grilled or baked options, and choose desserts like fresh fruit or sorbet. Don’t hesitate to inquire about food preparation and request healthier substitutions, like grilled veggies instead of fries, or smaller portions if available. Remember, a mindful approach to ordering can lead to a more satisfying and nutritious dining experience.
