I need a good sauce/recipe to cook on steaks or meats that isn't sweet at all!!?

I need a sauce/recipe for meat that is really saucy so the meat won't go dry, but isn't a sweet sauce at all. Any suggestions or good and easy recipes?I need a good sauce/recipe to cook on steaks or meats that isn't sweet at all!!?
Chimmichurri Marinade


Makes about 1 cup; enough to marinate


1 to 1-1/2 pounds of beefsteak or lamb chops


cut about 1 inch thick





This is a classic seasoning mix in Argentina, where beef is king. Sherry wine vinegar has a rich depth that needs very little oil to offset the acid. Flat-leaf parsley, when really fresh from the garden or the market, has a wonderful, peppery flavor. Lavishly garnish the finished steaks with more parsley.





1/2 cup sherry wine vinegar


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish


2 teaspoons dried oregano


6 large garlic cloves, minced


3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes





In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Place meat in a single layer in a glass or ceramic dish. Add marinade, turning food to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, 1 to 3 hours for lamb chops and 2 to 4 hours for beefsteak.








I have never made this particular recipe, but chimichurri is great on steaks! I thought this might be better since it's a marinade. Definitely not sweet!I need a good sauce/recipe to cook on steaks or meats that isn't sweet at all!!?

Honey, steak doesn't need anything---just don't overcook it.


Any other meat is great with Italian dressing or your favorite BBQ sauce.
shallots, garlic, cream, soy sauce and butter
pepper and chilli sauce are always handy, even lemon too , you will enjot it, I hope.
Try Lea %26amp; Perrins or A.1. worcestershire sauce





Check out www.allrecipes.com for steak recipes.
I don't really know much about cooking but we always use worcestershire sauce on both lamb and steak. It's not sweet (I don't think so anyway!) and it keeps it from being dry, and also does not overpower the meat.
This is not a sweet sauce even though it has a little sugar. I will agree you don't need a sauce for a properly cooked steak. But this is a great recipe. I think you'll like it a lot.
