Ingredients for Joe's Mustard Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Colman's dry mustard, or more to taste,

  • 240ml mayonnaise

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire

  • 1 teaspoon A-1 sauce

  • 2 tablespoons single cream

How to make Joe's Mustard Sauce

Place the mustard in a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the mayonnaise and beat for 1 minute.

Add the Worcestershire, A-1, cream, and a pinch of salt and beat until the mixture is well blended and creamy. If you'd like a little more mustardy bite, whisk in 1/2 teaspoons more dry mustard until well blended. Chill the sauce, covered, until serving.
