It’s no secret that tamari sauce is an awesome ingredient when it comes to cooking meat and chicken dishes. The deep umami of tamari will complement any meat-based cuisines.
To elevate your homemade steak, go double on the tamari sauce: Cook tamari together with the steak, and use it as the steak sauce ingredient as well. Since tamari already has an intense flavor, you don’t need to marinate the steak for a long time.

About Tamari Sauce
Tamari sauce is a wheat-free variant of Japanese soy sauce. Regular soy sauce is often brewed with 50% wheat so it’ll be easier to mass-produce. Since tamari only uses soy as the main ingredient, we can say that it is the best gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
Due to the deeper flavor, tamari goes really well with all kinds of proteins, especially beef.
Product Used In The Recipe
