Full question
What do you use instead of steak sauce (e.g. A1 sauce) if you live in the UK? We don't have steak sauce here. I looked up HP sauce but the ingredients are different.
Our answer
Nigella's Mini Meatloaves recipe (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) includes steak sauce in the ingredients. The sauce adds flavour and a little extra moisture. A1 is the most popular steak sauce brand. It is easy to find in the US and is becoming easier to find in larger UK supermarkets (look in the "international foods" section). It is also available for home delivery from some UK supermarkets and from other on-line sources.
However if you can't find steak sauce then HP sauce, or any similar brown sauce, is the closest alternative. UK brown sauce tends to be slightly tangier than steak sauce as it usually contains tamarind, which is quite a sour ingredient. It is made with dates, rather than the raisins used in steak sauce, but the sweetness of these dried fruits is similar and both sauces contain blends of spices that will help to season the meatloaf mixture.
