Menu Ideas for Sauces

Look to flavored butters for an easy make-ahead way to top steaks and other grilled foods, and to add distinctions to cooked vegetables.

Add an à la carte sauce section or a choice of different sauces for proteins, so that patrons can customize their flavor experience.

Upgrade gravy with the addition of mustard, red wine or a branded spirit, sautéed mushrooms or onions, or fresh herbs.

Combine one or more sauce preps to create a new signature, such as pesto and Alfredo.

Use cold sauces such as aioli, salsa verde, tartar, and fresh tomato coulis to set sandwiches apart.

Spicy sauces are gaining favor, and there are a variety of ways to add heat, from hot sauce and sriracha to ginger and horseradish.

Global influences run strong in sauces, from romesco and peanut sauce to chutney and chermoula.

Showcase regional American favorites like Creole, Alabama white barbecue, and New Mexican red chile sauce.

Build flavor in recipes by using a sauce as both a marinade and a finishing sauce.
