First of all, it's not Henry Bain Sauce unless it has pickled walnuts. Also, the Pendennis Club always uses Major Grey chutney. You can buy the original sauce bottled, which I would recommend rather than trying to make a version yourself.

Why would you add Worcestershire sauce to steak sauce which shares many of the same ingredients?

Love this recipe- perfect for KY Derby weekend. The beef was perfectly cooked by following these instructions. For the sauce - it's even better the second day. Definitely use the watercress and I used a mix of sweet chili sauce and Siracha chili sauce.

I used peach preserves instead of chutney and skipped the watercress. Served this alongside pan-seared pork chops treated with Kim Severson’s All Purpose California Beef Rub. Yes, beef rub. But don’t be fooled, the spices (including ground coffee!) work more than fine. Delish!

A perfect sandwich and burger sauce. Pairs well with pork and ham, smoked or plain turkey, beef, even roasted chicken. I have mixed some into cream cheese and put on a bagel with salmon or on crostini and topped with prosciutto and arugula. Good mixed with a little mayo as sandwich spread and also thinned w/water as salad dressing. Versatile flavoring. Use your imagination!

Can someone specify WHAT chili sauce? I live in LA so its either something with Habanero, or chili crisp. Guidance please.
