New Silk Road Marketing LLC has added a new line of steak sauces under its "Forbidden City" brand...

Tamarind Pepper Steak Sauce - "an elegant fusion of tropical fruits and peppers. Grounded in the cool, tart sweetness of tamarind, it is laced with fire by the Guiyang Pepper - a delicacy grown only in the monsoon-swept highlands of the Yungui Plateau. The result is piquant and refreshing, with just a hint of mystery." - Ingredients: Fermented Hot Peppers, Garlic, Tomato Paste, Tamarind Juice, Evaporated Cane Juice, Sea Salt.

Smoky Five Nut Steak Sauce - "A signature taste of the Yangtze River Valley. All but unknown outside its homeland - until now - it is a unique blend of pine nuts, walnuts, peanuts, sunflower and sesame seeds. Sparkling like a box of jewels, it calls out from the shelf with its beauty, and then delivers an unforgettable, deeply roasted flavor." - Ingredients: Soybean Oil, Peanut Oil, Chili Peppers, Peanuts, Walnuts, Pine Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Spices.

Wasabi Steak Sauce - "A bold, graceful companion to steak - so rich in character that it holds its own the heartiest T-bone, and yet so elegent that it flatters chateaubriand. Spiced with Eutrema japonica, the rhizome at the heart of the best wasabi, this sauce dazzles the palate, then subsides into a lovely mildness with an herbal finish." - Ingredients: Vinegar, Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Wheat Flour, Sea Salt), Vegetable Oil, Wasabi, Ginger, Garlic, Evaporated Can Juice, Honey.

I have to say the Forbidden City website has a few good comments about cooking with these sauces. I tried all 3 and they were excellent including the tamarind pepper which I put into soups

I like all three, I have tried the tamarind pepper in soups and it is also fun on eggs, like scrambled!
