Wow-Wow Sauce
Wow-Wow Sauce is a tangy beef gravy sharpened with mustard, vinegar and chopped pickles, attributed to the early 19th century physician and cook Dr. William Kitchiner. A simple butter and flour base carries the beef broth, while mushroom ketchup or port adds depth and the pickled cucumbers or walnuts give texture. It is a quick pan sauce that suits plain boiled or roast beef particularly well.
Instructions
Melt a piece of butter about the size of an egg in a saucepan over the heat. Stir in the flour and the beef broth until the mixture is smooth.
Add the vinegar, the mushroom ketchup or port, and the mustard. Simmer the sauce, stirring now and then, until it has thickened to the consistency you like.
Stir in the chopped parsley and the chopped pickled cucumbers or walnuts. Warm them through in the sauce, then serve.
Make it personal.
