Steak sauce question

[Guest guest]

In one of my cookbooks, the 'Simply Heavenly'

vegetarian monastery cookbook, they sometimes

mention using Lee & Perrin's Steak Sauce.

They claim it is vegan-friendly and the best on the

market. i went to the store yesterday to buy some

but upon reading the label discovered it contained

anchovies. Maybe at the time this cookbook was

written it didn't contain anchovies. *shrugs*

Anway, i was wondering if any of you know of a

good vegan " steak " sauce. From what the monks

say, it imparts a nice flavor to many dishes they

prepare that contain gluten unmeats and i wanted

to try it. TIA.

pt,

 

I use a vegetarian worcestershire put out by " The Wizards " - it is

really tasty and full of zing.

 

As far as steak sauce, imho, hands down, nothing is better than HP & I

don't have a bottle in the house (heard about that the other day when

I served veggie chicken nuggets) to double check ingredients, however,

I'm such a label checker, I'm sure it is completely vegetarian. HP is

not in every store, but is in most, it is English and is with the

steaksauces and worcestershires...slim, dark, squarish bottle with a

mostly light blue label...it is kind of pricey... My guys like it

better than barbecue sauce for dipping & it is great on veggie burgers.

Oh yeah and another British " steak " sauce is called Daddy's Sauce. I

believe the label is red, yellow, blue. I like Daddy's a bit better

than HP, but I like them both and yes, they are both vegetarian, in

fact, vegan.

 

Many British items, mostly condiments, are vegan/vegetarian; probably

because of import laws.

 

Have any of you tried Branston Pickle (by Crosse & Blackwell) or

Piccalilli? Cheese and " pickle " sandwiches is another favorite of

mine. It's not pickle in the green sense. Branston Pickle is brown,

is tart, but actually has diced fruit in it, such as apple, pear and

raisins. Picccalilli is a yellow mustard consitency with veggies such

as cauliflower and gherkins and is spicy as well as tart.

 

Some of these items you can get at Cost Plus World Market. It's an

international store that carries many yummy foods from around the

world. They also have home furnishings and beer and wine. Some things

are better priced than others. This is where my sister and I get our

English Tea, PG Tips.

i've tried annie's worcestishire sauce and it's good.

but i found a recipe for the sauce and it tastes great

and it's cheaper than buying just one bottle. you can

alter it and substitute other things and it still

comes out fine

Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce

 

1 cup cider vinegar

1/3 cup dark molasses

1/4 cup soy sauce -- i use low sodium

1/4 cup water

3 Tbsp lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp powdered mustard

1 tsp onion powder

3/4 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground cloves -- or allspice

1/8 tsp ground cardamom

 

Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Pour into a

saucepan and bring to a boil. Store in a jar in the

refrigerator. Makes about 2 cups.

hi pt,

 

A1 Steak Sauce appears to be vegan. the ingredients

list reads: tomato puree, distilled vinegar, corn

syrup, salt, raisin paste, spices and herbs, crushed

orange puree, dried garlic and onion, caramel color,

potassium sorbate, xanthan gum.

 

also lea & perrins make a worcestershire sauce AND a

steak sauce. i'm trying to find an ingredients list

online, but can't. i have seen two other referrences

(including vegweb.com) to the l & p steak sauce being

vegan. hmm. one of the sites state that trader joe's

steak sauce is also vegan.

 

i'm sure you'll be able to find something. let us

know how the recipes turns out.

Denise...I love going to Cost Plus - I get marmite there (we had quite

a discussion on that topic a while back) and lots of other

international things - they have good prices on teas and coffees, too

& fun toys for kids and adults!

Thanks, m. i will look for the HP brand.

i already have a nice vegetarian Worcestershire

sauce that i used; the brand name is Kroger.

Thanks Denise. That gives me another brand

name option to look for. i wonder if Fred Meyers

will carry some of these British brands. That is

where i buy my Krogers Worcestershire. As far as

grocery store chains, Fred's seems to be more

organic-vegetarian friendly.

Thanks, susie.

Now isn't that weird that the bottle of Lee & Perrins

that i found in the store the other day had anchovies?

You'd think vegweb.com would have caught that.

Maybe i should send them a note. i thought it was

odd that the 'Simply Heavenly' cookbook raved about

that brand, too. Has me wondering if Lee & Perrins

went and reformulated their sauce and just didn't bother

telling anyone. Proof again that even on brands we are

told we can trust we have to read the labels!

The Fred's in Portland did carry the HP brand. They also carried

Branston Pickle and Bisto (dry gravy mix). So I bet your Fred's will

also carry, or at least you might be able to get them to do so.

I actually miss Fred Meyer. I never had a problem finding really good

organic food; fresh, frozen or boxed.

that is weird and very sneaky! just goes to show you

have to read labels...even on the things you think are

veggie and things that have been veggie in the past.

I believe Angustora is vegan. And yeah, you have to read and re-read labels.
