Meat sauces, for every type of meat here's its sauce

Worcestershire sauce for your barbecue, but also for hamburgers, Bernese, chimichurri, pepper, lemon, honey, mint, garlic, and whatever else you can think of. As you can see, there are really a lot of sauces, and among the most famous, of course, there’s also ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard.

But every sauce must be paired with the right type of meat, white or red, with more or less fat. And we must also consider the type of cooking: grilled, in a pan, or in the oven.

For the classic red meat barbecue, the most suitable sauce is naturally barbecue sauce, excellent for beef. Today there are many variants of barbecue sauce (based on ketchup, whiskey, mustard, or even chocolate) made both industrially and artisanally and distributed worldwide.

One of the ideal sauces for a meat roast is instead the one made with mustard. We’d like to suggest the one produced by the company I Vasetti di Riccardo, a mustard sauce that adds a spicy note and enhances the flavor. Naturally, nothing prevents you from using it also with grilled meat, boiled dishes, and sausages.

Staying within the same company, very interesting are the spicy sauce with Sri Lankan chili and ginger and the curry and cashew sauce. Both tasty, they go well with chicken meat, giving it an intense and satisfying flavor.

If you want to amaze your friends, you can also try an unusual thing like pesto on meat. Normally, pesto is a condiment used for pasta, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used, for example, to make a great beef fillet, also good for giving flavor to veal scaloppine.

If you find yourself faced with hamburgers, the most convenient solution is to use a hamburger sauce often made with mayonnaise, Tabasco, ketchup, mustard, and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, the most famous of sauces.
