[1] Steak sauce is normally brown in color, and often made from tomatoes, spices, vinegar, and raisins, and sometimes anchovies.
Three major brands in the U.S. are the British-originated A1, domestically produced Heinz 57, and British-made Lea & Perrins.
There are also numerous smaller makers, regional brands and flavor profiles, and private-label supermarket versions available.
These sauces typically mimic the slightly sweet flavor of A1 or Lea & Perrins.
[citation needed] Unlike other steak sauces, H. J. Heinz Company’s Heinz 57 has a ketchup-like base, which is fortified with malt vinegar and seasoned with mustard, raisin, apple, garlic, onion, and other flavors.
