When I was growing up, the Honpa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple would compile local island recipes and make cookbooks to sell. These cookbooks became THE “go to” book for many island cooks, so it’s no surprise no one in my family is willing to part with theirs. Lucky for me, I found the first three editions on Amazon in excellent condition and found two recipes that I combined to make this Oyster Steak Sauce.
This oyster steak sauce is a departure from traditional steak sauce. It doesn’t have that tangy A1 sauce taste, but more of a sweet buttery flavor with a hint of Asian flair. It’s super simple, takes only 5-ingredients, and takes no more than 45 minutes (maybe less) to prepare the full dish.
I hope you try this twist on the traditional steak sauce recipe. I think you’ll love this oyster steak sauce and the wonderful taste it adds to a plain steak. It’s tasty and kid/hubby approved.
