Ingredients: ½ cup mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon oil from canned anchovies; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary; 1 teaspoon harissa

This is my patented method for quick, easy steak sauces. The formula is mayonnaise plus salty, plus spicy, plus acidic,  plus herby equals awesome. All ingredients are to taste.

mayonnaise

oil anchovies

lemon juice

rosemary

harissa

Combine mayonnaise, anchovy oil, lemon juice, rosemary, and harissa in a bowl. Let stand about 5 minutes to blend flavors before serving.


I used mayo soy sauce lemon juice and dried basil. Yum. I even used this sauce to dunk artichoke leaves.

Really good..made it with steak..had to use some anchovie paste as that is what I had and it works well in this.  Like to have anchovie paste in the frig as it keeps a long time and is good in many applications like caesar salad Yumm. Anchovie paste comes in a tube.  Chef John  no fear for me as I love my steak well seared but RARE!

Thank you Chef John another excellent recipient.

I made this recipe following the exact ingredients. I even used the same Harissa and oil from canned anchovies. I'm OCD what can I say! Anyway once again I was not disappointed. Great blend of flavors and so easy to make. It didn't have a strong fishy taste either. Just a hint if. Just right. We had it on hamburgers and it was awesome! I'm looking froward to trying it with steak.

This was great Chef!  The way you worked in a Humphrey  Bogart  theme referring to his former wife.   So this weekend I'll be searing a steak served with your sauce for our "dinner and a movie".   The "Falcon"?...'naw, save it for the  fall.  "Casablanca"?  Wait for a more romantic mood.   Ha! I got it.... "Key Largo", it is (now) hurricane season.  I do believe the cabin cruiser in that film is called the "Santana"?  I'll look it up. 
Thanks

very good! I unfortunately did not have all the ingredients called for but followed to the best of my accurateness in intention. I only had mayo. The rest of the ingredients I had on hand were pickles' water and Dijon mustard fresh green onions and olive oil. I put it on the side of a fillet mignon....HEAVENLY!

Sooo Good and easy. Can be used on lots of dishes. Will definitely make many times.

Great around sauce even veggies and burgers. I used more Siracha and lemon juice than the recipe.

I will make this every time I cook a steak. It was fab. My friends want my recipe. They ain't gettin' it.

A delicious, last-minute steak sauce recipe!
