Mango Steak Sauce
We grill all year long, for several reasons. First, grilling is a great way to transform a regular meal into something special and flavorful. We also grill during the dark days of winter here in Utah, because it reminds our taste buds—and our longing-for-summer souls—that we can make it to spring! Steak in all its forms is one of our favorite proteins to grill. This flavorful steak sauce features one of our most favorite fruits—mango. Using a delightfully sweet fruit adds natural sweetness to this steak sauce without all the crazy fillers and sugars in traditional steak sauces.
