It’s no secret that meat dishes are considered the main dishes on the table. Not a single holiday event would be complete without a good piece of aromatic smoked meat or grilled steak.  Of course, meat dishes are also served with a side dish and some kind of salad, but you also cannot do without a good sauce that will highlight the taste of the meat. Sauces play such an important role that sometimes a sauce that is not well prepared or chosen correctly can ruin a dish. In this article we will share with you tips on how to prepare the three best sauces for meat.

The first sauce, which is considered one of the most popular in the world, is sweet and sour sauce. It goes great with any meat dish, but best with chicken. China can be considered the birthplace of sweet and sour sauce. To prepare the sauce you will need: tomato paste, garlic, ginger, dry wine, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, water, paprika. You should start preparing the sauce by frying chopped onion, garlic, ginger and paprika. All this should be fried in vegetable oil. In a saucepan, mix soy sauce, tomato paste, lemon juice and wine, and when everything starts to boil, add sugar. Then add the fried ingredients to the saucepan and mix well. At the end, add water with diluted starch to thicken the sauce.

The second excellent sauce for meat is Satsebeli - a classic Georgian sauce that goes well with grilled meat and kebabs. This sauce goes well with lamb or veal. Fragrant, spicy, piquant - that's all about Satsebeli. It contains: tomato paste, garlic, cilantro, water and vinegar. Spices are a separate issue, because Caucasian cuisine is very rich in spices. Suneli hops and adjika are used to prepare the sauce; they give the sauce an incredible bouquet of taste. To prepare the sauce, use a mortar and grind cilantro, suneli hops, adjika and garlic in it.  Choose tomato paste as thick as possible, add pureed spices to it. Dilute the sauce a little with water and mix very thoroughly. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper. 

And the third sauce is a refreshing mint yogurt sauce that goes well with any meat. It is prepared very simply and does not require a lot of ingredients. To prepare you will need: Greek yogurt, mint, garlic, salt, lemon juice. Chop the mint very finely and mix with yogurt. Add the garlic pressed through a garlic press and add to the yogurt. Add salt and squeeze lemon juice. Mix everything well and let it brew a little, so it will be more rich.
