    This creamy jalapeno ranch dressing for meats is also a chip dip and salad dressing. Taking 5 minutes to whip together a tasty sauce can help dinner taste like a 5 star meal. It’s literally “all the things”. It’s served chilled and has a sour cream base. It’s just like Chuy’s sauce. Drizzle it on steak, pork, chicken, and so much more.

    creamy jalapeno ranch sauce on steak tacos with cilantro
    This creamy jalapeno ranch sauce on steak tacos is one of my favorite uses for leftover sauce. I always have some fresh tortillas in the fridge to throw together quesadillas, burritos, and tacos on the fly. This green sauce is a perfect finishing touch.

    How to make this tasty sauce

    Add all jalapeno ranch sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor.

    • It adds a ton of flavor to meat dishes like brisket, sous vide bone-in pork and this recipe for 20 minute chicken breasts.
    • Serve jalapeno ranch sauce for steaks – they’re a great way to dress up frozen sous vide steaks.
    • Add it to vegetables like sous vide asparagus, sous vide sweet corn.
    • Definitely try it on grilled potato wedges (so good!)
    • For brunch, drizzle it on sous vide poached eggs or on a breakfast taco.

    Try some craft cuts of meat. This sauce would be delicious on wagyu ground beef burgers from my affiliate partners, Crowd Cow. Kinda like jalapeno ranch sauce Whataburger serves. Get 5% off your online butcher order at Crowd Cow with code SIPBITEGO.

    This sauce is on repeat at my house

    This sauce is inspired by all the great green sauces and creamy jalapeno chip dips that come before it. Most notably, Chuy’s Creamy Jalapeno Dip, and the Cilantro Lime Dressing from Costco. If you’re a fan of Costco, check out my guide to shopping at Costco once a month.

    Chef Hubs and I have been slurping up this sauce on everything we can find. It reminds me of a cilantro lime sauce from Costco we used to love.

    Want to try more sauces? This creamy peppercorn sauce recipe for steak takes only 15 minutes! Make it with beef stock or leftover juice from sous vide cooking or roasting beef.

    Since it lasts a few days, I like to make it and take a look at our dinner calendar to see how we can use it in a few dishes that week. We never get bored of it. There’s really never enough.

    Don’t have sour cream on hand? You can substitute full fat plain greek yogurt for that same tangy, creamy base!

    Notes

    • Add an extra jalapeno if you want more of a kick.
    • I usually trim then leave most of the stems on the cilantro. You don’t have to cut off only the leaves. Throw it all in the blender and it will taste great.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
