Red Ranch Sauce

Todd Wilbur has wriiten a number of cookbooks copying chain food. The website doesn't list that particular recipe but you could look in his books at a bookstore.

Doesn't help, does it?

Anrol, I have three of his books, and they do not list the recipe for the sauce you are looking for. Sorry :cry:

http://www.foodfacts.com/food/Sauces%20%2F%20Dressing/Arby's%20Red%20Ranch%20Sauce/7484 this is a website that gives you the basic ingredients for the Arby's Red Ranch Sauce. it doesn't tell you how much of each to use tho. ): but u can but it on this site i think. at least that's what it leads you to believe.

I've been to arby's quite a few times and I am not familiar with this sauce at all. What does it come on?

Beef and cheddar line of sandwiches.   basically a barbecue sacue without the smoke. 

Who eats at Arbys its fake roast beef.(pressed and formed)

Knowledge from long ago....

 

worked at arbys long time ago. but just other   day mixed french dressing and cherry juice   came close. then did same but added rasberry walnut vinaigrette dressing not to much . french dressing mainly little cherry juice. little r vin. to taste.

I love Arby's, I worked there as a kid and still enjoy it today. I love formed pressed Spam too. That's good eats.
Sorry don't know the red ranch recipe but it's on the Super sandwich too. Not on the menu anymore but they will make it if you ask. Basic roast beef with red ranch, lettuce and tomato.

U G H ..pressed and formed RB I remember when it used to be real.

A friend of mine loves Arby's Red Ranch Sauce, and I've tried numerous times to find a recipe online with no success.  There is though an online pdf file that contains Arby's nutritional information and actual ingredients for Arby's offerings.  The ingredients for Red Ranch Sauce are: 

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soybean Oil, Corn-Cider Vinegar, Tomato Paste, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Salt, Paprika, Spice, Beet Juice (for color), Onion (dehydrated), Natural Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Garlic (dehydrated).

 

I believe the rule is that ingredient labels must list ingredients by highest amount first to lowest amount of an ingredient last.  So Red Ranch Sauce is mostly corn syrup!!  I suppose with some playing around in the kitchen one could come close to recreating the sauce.

I've eaten at Arby's lots over the years and never heard of Red Ranch Sauce - is it the same things as "Arby's Sauce?"  If so, I would suggest starting with something like catalina dressing and adjusting from there.  In DC there is something called "mumbo sauce."  It is found mostly (if not exclusively) at greasy Chinese carry-outs and served with fries, wings, on fried rice, etc.  At any rate, mumbo sauce has a similar flavor profile though it tends to be sweeter than Arby's sauce.  The good part is that there are lots and lots of recipes for mumbo sauce to be found on the web, so you could start with one of those recipes and adjust to increase the acidity and bite, and reduce the sweetness.
