This incredibly flavorful condiment is recreated with real food ingredients to make it Paleo and Whole30. Use this Worcestershire Sauce in your favorite recipes or simply drizzle on top of steak for extra flavor.

Of all the condiments, this one is by far the most difficult to pronounce or spell for that matter. This beloved condiment is a staple in burger recipes, Caesar salad dressings and even cocktails like Bloody Mary.

Traditionally, Worcestershire Sauce is a fermented concoction of fish flavors, malt vinegar and spices. The ingredients were set to mature for 18 months before being bottled in Worcester, England, where the exact recipe is kept a secret.

As all ferments do, they take time to mature to release active enzymes. And while I realize this substitute comes short of the probiotic-rich craft, it will do in a pinch. Besides, it’s still a much better option than store bought sauces that are full of soy and corn syrup.

What are the ingredients in Worcestershire Sauce?

Admittedly, the ingredient list seems long but truthfully, if you’ve been real fooding (as in verb) for a while, you should have most, if not all of these ingredients on hand. Majority of them are nothing but seasonings.

For your convenience, I added my affiliate links to all of the ingredients in the recipe card should you find something unfamiliar.

Also, if you happen to be out of an ingredient or two, feel free to proceed with the recipe. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how forgiving Worcestershire Sauce is since there are so many depths of flavor in this admired sauce.

How to use Worcestershire Sauce?

The richly flavored sauce lies somewhere between a condiment and seasoning.

Because of it’s use of vinegar and shelf-stable ingredients, this sauce can be kept for a long time so I prefer to make a large batch and keep in the refrigerator.

To use, simply shake well and douse your steak in homemade, soy-free Worcestershire Sauce.

My favorite use for Worcestershire Sauce is undoubtedly my Healthy Caesar Salad but I’ve added it to burgers, on top of steaks and even grilled salmon.
