Here’s a super quick and easy way to hop up the flavor of any steak. The idea of a cutting board sauce is credited to chef Adam Perry Lang, but I highly doubt that he was the first chef to use this simple technique – more likely is that he played a big part in popularizing the method. The board sauce is a mixture of herbs that is chopped and mixed with olive oil right on the cutting board. The steak is cooked and then immediately sliced on top of the board sauce. The juices from the steak mix into the sauce and after tossing everything together, you’ll end up with an incredible amount of flavor goodness coating every slice of steak.
This method works well with any cut of steak and almost any combination of herbs, and if you ever find yourself in the predicament of having overcooked your steak (it happens to all of us), use the board sauce like a hockey goalie making a stick save. There’s no better way to add some moisture and flavor back into an otherwise dry overdone piece of meat.
Just wanted to drop you a quick note – I made this last night – absolutely delicious!!
Looks delicious.
Awesome idea. Can’t wait to try it!
The herb board sauce is brilliant. We have fresh herbs in our garden right near our grill so this was a great way to enjoy it all for a wonderful al fresco dining at home.
Wow thats a perfect choice for winter grills. thanks a lot
It looks perfectly cooked! And tossing the slices in a cutting board sauce is genius!
I’m definitely doing this next time we grill steaks. Such a delicious idea!
This looks gourmet… and sounds so incredibly easy to make. I bet your herb board sauce would make a great dipper for crusty bread, too.
Ribeye is always an excellent choice. The board sauce is a pro move and sounds amazing. YUM!
It looks interesting and seems like anyone can make a try and it wont fail. Because the measurements is not a big deal for this delicious board sauce 🙂
The steak looks so delicious and I love the flavor of the sauce.
What a great idea! I’m going to use the cutting board sauce next time I overcook my steaks 🙂
Looks perfect with the steak , nice idea of placing the meat on the sauce and allowing to soak up!
I’ve never heard of a board sauce, but it makes perfect sense. I look forward to trying it one day soon. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a great idea! Can’t wait to try it.
This is a great idea ! It’s funny. I will serve the ribeye and vegies directly on the board.
The board sauce worked so well to save my overcooked steaks the other night! Thanks for the idea.
Such a great idea!
