I found this on Allrecipes. I've never heard of this before but it sounds really good!

Mix equal parts of the sauce with beef steak drippings to complete the sauce just before serving.

I saw this too, but the ingredients just don't sound like the flavor I'm looking for. I'm having a dinner party tomorrow night and just may try this recipe anyway. Thanks for the response.

Ooops, sorry Claire! I was so excited when I found it, but it does sound good enough to give it a try.

Here's another recipe I have on file, FYI -

RUTHANNA'S WHISKEY STEAK SAUCE

This sauce can be served over any steaks that have been pan-fried

1/ 2 cup butter
2 Tbs. minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbs. whiskey
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/ 2 tsp. dry mustard
Dash of hot pepper sauce

Pour off any grease remaining after a steak has been sauteed. In the same skillet used to cook the steak, melt the butter over low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook slowly until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer about 5 minutes. Pour over steaks and serve.

(I served this over a thinly sliced, medium rare London broil cooked on the grill. I substituted 1 Tbs. of bacon fat for an equal amount of butter and used MakerÂs Mark bourbon. Next time I think I would only use 2 Tbs. of whiskey but it was very good.)

I don't think you have time to get the Flavor-Glow called for but maybe there's a substitute? Check below.

Hey Ginger, that sounds like it could be the elusive "zip" the clarified butter fits. My DBIL owns a restaurant. I'll ask him to get me some Flavor-Glow(I've never heard of it before) I'll give a report after I've tried it. Thanks a bunch!

Ginger, you're good!

Ah, Ginger.........our secret weapon! LOL

Thanks, Woodie but I would have posted the recipe you found had I gotten here earlier & the one you posted does sound good.

Yeah, Roselin but you forgot to call me "St. Ginger" as others have. LOL

Sorry 'bout that.......will do better next time. LOL

Flavor-Glow is an all natural(read no MSG's) alternative to a traditional soup base. You might try something like Better Than Bullion mixed with clarified butter. When I smoke brisket I save the drippings(fat removed) to drizzle back over the sliced final product. I have mixed the drippings with bullion to enhance the flavor but have not tried it with clarified butter. I may have to try adding clarified butter to the mix.

Good idea, Breasley.
