Do you like savoury flavors and mushrooms? Then look no further than this Torchbearer Mushroom Mayhem hot sauce, because this sauce is so savoury that you would almost think it contains steak (despite the fact that it is vegan). This is mainly due to the shiitake and portobello mushrooms that are in it, which of course also provides a serious dose of umami flavour. This hot sauce is also a bit sweet due to the addition of both brown sugar and molasses. In terms of heat, you're all set with habaneros & scorpion peppers. A great hot sauce to go with, you guessed it, steak! But try it on wings, burgers or tofu as well!

This Bravado Black Garlic Carolina Reaper hot sauce is one of the hottest from the Bravado family. The Carolina Reapers in this sauce give it a significant kick, but combined with the savory garlic and a hint of sweet maple syrup also gives it a great taste. Pairs well with meats such as steak, chicken and pork, but also with mean sandwiches such as this 'Spicy Meatball Marinara Sub'.

Don't be fooled by the list of ingredients and the Scoville score (135.000) of Da Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce. It might seem that this sauce won't be too hot, compared to sauces with hotter peppers in it, but it truely is an absolute bomb. We'd rather call this an experience sauce, which you have to try once. The flavour isn't great (we'll be honest about that), but the heat is something else. It's called Da Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce for a reason!
