Wow, okay. At least I got my wife to appreciate a decent sauce, and I got her off the store-bought sauce mixes.

It’s been many years but I still remember which recipe did the trick: Salisbury steak.

Make steak patties using ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, pepper, breadcrumbs. Fry until brown. Set aside. In the same pan, sauté 250g mushrooms and a chopped onion until brown, add tomato paste, add some flour, add 500ml beef stock and a pinch of sugar (ketchup works well too). Salt and pepper to taste. Add steaks to sauce. Cook until steaks done.

She loves this and it kinda cured her from buying Maggi crap, lol.
