Flank steak is a flavorful and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. It’s also a great choice for grilling because it can be grilled quickly and easily. But what about sauces? What are the best sauces to serve with flank steak? I’ve got you covered. Here’s 15+ delicious sauces for flank steak.
Here are some tips for choosing the right sauce for your flank steak:
- Consider the flavor profile of your flank steak. If your steak is already flavorful (like this asian marinated flank steak), you may want to choose a sauce that is more subtle. If your steak is less flavorful, you may want to choose a sauce that is more assertive.
- Think about the cooking method you will be using. If you are grilling your flank steak, you may want to choose a sauce that can withstand high heat. If you are pan-frying your flank steak, you may want to choose a sauce that is more delicate.
- Consider your personal preferences. Do you like sauces that are sweet, savory, spicy, or tangy? There is no right or wrong answer, so choose the sauce that you think will taste the best.

Serves 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup brandy (cognac or marsala)
- ½ cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2-3 teaspoons coarsely crushed whole black peppercorns (or jarred green peppercorns, drained)
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- If you’re cooking steaks, save the juices in the skillet. This will help flavor the peppercorn sauce.
- To a medium skillet, add brandy (or cognac or marsala). Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the liquid has reduced, about 1 minute.
- Add the broth and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook 2-3 minutes, until reduced by half.
- Reduce heat to medium, and add the cream and peppercorns. Simmer 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt, to taste.
Notes
- Let leftover peppercorn sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- If you want to extend its shelf life, freeze the sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and gently warm it on the stove while stirring to restore its creamy consistency.
