Sear sauce

Stekås

Mayo and vinegar, brushed on before the fire

You need
  • 3 msk mayonnaise
  • 1 msk red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsk garlic powder
  • 1 tsk coarse salt
  • 1 tsk coarsely ground black pepper

Whisk until it stops looking like mayonnaise with things in it and starts looking like one thing.

A thin coat, both sides, at the last moment. Egg and oil stay where a marinade would run off, so the surface browns instead of steaming, and the vinegar keeps the whole thing from tasting of mayonnaise.

Direct heat over glowing coals. Expect it to catch a little at the edges. That is what it is for, and it is why the coat is thin.
