Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, consider adding more flour or reducing the boiling time. If you want a milder flavor, reduce the curry and mustard amounts. You can substitute the Lea & Perrins steak sauce with Worcestershire sauce for a similar taste, or use a gluten-free flour if you need a gluten-free option. This sauce is versatile and can complement many dishes, including Alabama Rice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this meat sauce generously over slices of London Broil for a satisfying meal. It pairs wonderfully with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad. For a complete dinner, consider serving it alongside Main Dish Cabbage or over a bed of pasta. A sprinkle of fresh parsley on top adds a nice touch.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the meat sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw if frozen, then gently warm on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Add a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
