Ingredients
1/2 cup mayonnaise (4.4 oz)
3 tablespoons ketchup (2.6 oz)
1 1/2 tablespoons Crystal Worcestershire Sauce or 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce plus 1/2 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional for heat: a few drops Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce or Crystal Hot Sauce or Sriraja Panich Hot Sauce
Instructions
1. Measure the mayonnaise and ketchup into a medium mixing bowl
2. Add Crystal Worcestershire Sauce, or the soy sauce plus tamarind mixture, into the bowl
3. Sprinkle in garlic powder, coarse black pepper and salt
4. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth, uniform in color and pepper flecks are evenly distributed
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least six hours, ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld
6. Before serving stir the sauce, taste and add a small pinch more pepper or a few drops of hot sauce if you prefer extra heat
Notes
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to five days
Do not freeze this mayonnaise based sauce because separation will occur once thawed
Always use a clean spoon when scooping to avoid contamination
If the sauce becomes too thick after chilling stir in a teaspoon of water or a little extra ketchup to loosen it
For a silkier texture use mayonnaise at room temperature before mixing
Brighten the sauce with a few drops of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar if desired
