How to Make Detroit's Famous Zip Sauce Recipe

    Step One

    • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the Maggi sauce and rosemary and whisk until combined

    Step Two

    • Add the mushrooms and stir until coated with the zip sauce. Allow them to simmer on low heat until done, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Set the zip sauce aside while you prepare the beef tenderloin tips recipe.

    How to Cook the Beef Tenderloin Tips

      Step One

      • Mix the salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Use this mix to season the steak bites .

      Step Two

      • Heat the olive oil in a cast iron pan or another heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
      • Add the steak tips to the frying pan in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan otherwise you won't get a good sear on the meat.
      • Let the beef cook for one or two minutes on each side, just long enough to get a nice golden-brown crust.
      • Turn the burner off.

      Step Three

      • Carefully add the zip sauce & mushrooms to the pan with the small bite-size pieces of meat. Toss until coated.

      Step Four

      • Spread out the argula evenly over a large, rimmed serving platter.
      • Carefully arrange the tender pieces of meat, mushrooms, and zip sauce over the greens.

      Notes

      Maggi sauce can be difficult to find. If you are not able to locate a bottle, mixing 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce will give you a similar but not exact flavor profile.
