food and drink barbecues and grillingDoes Worcestershire sauce go on steak?
Keeping this in view, what does Worcestershire sauce do to meat?
It has vinegar to tenderize the meat, sugar for sweetness and shine, and deliciously savory flavors including onion, garlic, tamarind, and anchovies. Worcestershire sauce is also quite concentrated, so it's able to penetrate deeply into the meat.
Also asked, do you put Worcestershire sauce on steak before or after cooking?
As far other things, I like to put it in ground beef before cooking it when making hamburgers. One and a half tablespoons of Worcestershire to every pound of meat is a good rule of thumb. Same can be said for meatballs. Goes well in chili's also and on cheese steaks or portobello mushrooms.
The main ingredients of Worcestershire sauce, such as vinegar, blackstrap molasses, or soy sauce don't need refrigeration, so the sauce keeps quite well at room temperature too. If you use Worcestershire sauce only from time to time and have no idea when you will finish the bottle, keep in the fridge.
