Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base: Whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl until smooth and well blended. This forms the flavorful heart of your sauce.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Spices: Stir in brown sugar, horseradish, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to let all the flavors integrate and build depth.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, stirring as you go, until the sauce reaches your preferred pourable but slightly thick consistency that clings well to meat.
  4. Chill for Flavor Fusion: Cover the sauce and refrigerate it for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together for an authentic Texas Roadhouse taste.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Bring the sauce to room temperature before serving. Pair with steak, chicken, burgers, or fries for a remarkable dining experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for a more vibrant and lively flavor.
  • Adjust the balance of vinegar and sugar to suit your preferred tangy-sweet profile.
  • Letting the sauce rest in the fridge improves flavor melding and smoothness.
  • Add spicy ingredients gradually to avoid overpowering the sauce.
  • For a thicker texture, reduce water and optionally add a bit of tomato paste.
  • Substitute brown sugar with honey or maple syrup for a low-sugar variation.
  • Use vegan Worcestershire sauce and check all ingredients to keep the sauce vegan-friendly.
