Tomato and strawberry sauce for meat
12 servings
40 minutes
This unusual sauce was born at the intersection of Italian culinary traditions and bold culinary experiments. The combination of sweet, juicy strawberries with tangy, rich tomatoes creates a unique flavor—both refreshing and deep. Dill adds a light herbal note to the sauce, garlic adds spiciness, and thick mayonnaise makes it tender and creamy. This sauce pairs perfectly with meat dishes, especially roasted pork or beef, enhancing their flavor and adding complexity. It can be used as a marinade, an accompaniment to steak, or even as an unusual dip for snacks. The hand-chopping of ingredients gives the sauce a textural richness that enhances its gastronomic appeal.

Pour boiling water over the tomatoes to remove the skin.

Do not chop the strawberries too finely. All ingredients can be blended, but chopping by hand with a knife will taste much better, as it's easy to overdo it in a blender and make a 'mash'.
