Brown Sauce (English)

English Brown sauce is a commercial, bottled sauce. It is a thick, brown sauce that is like a slightly sweet, tangy steak sauce.

It is made from apples, prunes, onions, malt vinegar, and seasonings.

In North America, practically the only brand of brown sauce sold is HP, so it is just referred to as "HP Sauce." In the UK, however, there are many other brand names, such as Daddies, and all the supermarkets put out their own brand of brown sauce.

English brown sauce is very different from French brown sauce. See main entry on Sauces where this is covered.


HP Sauce has been made since 1899.
