Billie-Jo'S Saute Sauce
Billie-Jo's Saute Sauce offers a tangy, savory flavor perfect for beef dishes like London broil and roasts, enhancing grilled or baked meats with a flavorful marinade.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the meat into strips.
- Mix together all ingredients and pour over the meat.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Cook the meat in the sauce on the stove or grill until finished.
- If cooking on the grill, use aluminum foil or heat the sauce in a pan separately.
- Alternatively, bake in the oven if using a whole beef roast.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the meat overnight to fully absorb the sauce. You can substitute the Catalina dressing with a homemade vinaigrette for a fresher taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes. Use minced fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a stronger aroma.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sautéed meat over a bed of rice or alongside mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. Pair it with a refreshing side like Green Chili Coleslaw for a crunchy contrast. This dish also complements Simple Oven Roasted Vegetables, making for a colorful and nutritious plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave in short intervals to avoid drying out the meat. If the sauce thickens, add a splash of water to loosen it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! This sauté sauce works well with chicken, pork, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust cooking times accordingly, as different meats have varying cooking durations.
How can I thicken the sauce if it’s too thin?
To thicken the sauce, you can simmer it on the stove until it reduces to your desired consistency. Alternatively, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water, then stir it into the sauce and cook until thickened.
What can I do if the sauce is too salty?
If your sauce turns out too salty, add a splash of vinegar or a bit of sugar to balance the flavors. You can also dilute it with a bit of water or low-sodium broth to mellow the saltiness.
