Wondering what sauces go well with steak? I’ve got you covered with this handy guide.

The BEST Sauces for Steak

These are some of my favorite sauces to serve with steak:

Bearnaise Sauce
Creamy Peppercorn Sauce
Steak Diane
Chimichurri Sauce
Bordelaise Sauce
And, let’s not forget about Compound Butter

I’ll usually pick one based on the type of steak recipe that I’m preparing. For example, a tender sous vide filet mignon is delicious with a rich, creamy bearnaise sauce. Traeger steak calls for some homemade BBQ sauce. And steak tacos are amazing with chipotle crema.

Pick one of your favorites from the list below, add a couple side dishes, and you’re guaranteed an amazing dinner!
