Stonewall Kitchen Roadhouse Steak Sauce
March 13, 2010
Stonewall Kitchen's Roadhouse Steak Sauce just looks pretentious and gourmet. It's been sitting in my sights for the last few months and I've been wanting to try it for a while.
Slathered ontop of a prev frozen Frenched Veal Rack, baked at 350 for 25 minutes, found it was still way too rare for my liking, then baked for another 15 minutes.
Information: The roadside steak house always had the best blue plate special in town. We’ve recreated this classic savory flavor in our newest grill sauce, perfect for beef or pork.
I seriously thought it was going to be better than it was.
| Price: 3/10 | $10.49 for a 11ozL bottle is just ridiculous. However, I did get it at Urban Fare. Their website lists it at $6.95/bottle. |
| Presentation: 8/10 | It really looks like something you'd find at a very fancy restaurant, or in some modernized rustic kitchen. |
| Smell: 6/10 | Kinda smelled like salsa a little bit. I'm not sure why, but I was really intrigued at that. |
| Color: 4/10 | It looked better in the bottle. |
| Consistency before cooked: 7/10 | Very chunky. At first I thought that the bottle had gone bad and it was clumping together, but I realized that was just how it is. |
| Consistency after cooked: 7/10 | I was really surprised by this one, with how it seemed to bake in. However, I found out it was all just surface flavor. |
| Flavor: 5/10 | It tasted like it smelled: closer to a salsa than a steak sauce. Not surprising, since the first ingredients are Tomatoes, Chilis, Dijon Mustard, Raisins and Molases. |
| Total: 40/70 | It's decent, but I'd use it as a dipping sauce or marinade before a steak sauce. |
Stonewall Kitchen Roadhouse Steak Sauce:
Red Meat - 0/70

Side note: Veal, nature's way of saying "Babies just taste better."
