Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup catsup
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. Cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Corn Starch

Instructions

  1. Mix cornstarch and water, set aside.

Tips & Substitutions

For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch slightly, but be careful not to add too much as it may alter the flavor. You can substitute apple cider vinegar for white vinegar if you prefer a slightly sweeter taste. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can work in a pinch, though it will change the flavor profile. This sauce is perfect for dipping with American recipes like fries or onion rings.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delicious Arby's sauce alongside roast beef sandwiches or as a dip for chicken tenders. It also pairs beautifully with Kathie's Brie and Bread for a unique appetizer. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad to balance the flavors.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Arby's sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, gently warm the sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency. Avoid microwaving, as it may cause the sauce to separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Arby's sauce vegan?

Yes, you can make this sauce vegan by ensuring that the Worcestershire sauce you use is vegan-friendly, as some brands contain anchovies. Other than that, all the ingredients in this recipe are plant-based, making it a great option for vegan recipes.

How can I adjust the spiciness of the sauce?

To adjust the spiciness, you can simply reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it entirely if you prefer a milder flavor. Conversely, if you want to increase the heat, add more cayenne pepper or mix in a few dashes of hot sauce to taste.

Can I use this sauce for marinating meat?

Absolutely! This Arby's sauce can double as a marinade for meats like chicken or beef. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor, or longer for more intense taste. It's especially delicious when used with Ranch Style Steaks for a flavorful twist.
