    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    This Arby's Sauce Copycat Recipe is perfect over a Homemade Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich. The sweet and tangy flavor, iconic red but almost translucent color, and the drip down the sandwich? You cannot go wrong here! But...Don't forget...One more thing!

    Arby's Sauce served in a clear jar with a serving spoon.

    This sandwich wouldn't be complete without the Copycat Arby's Horsey Sauce to go right along with it!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    If you love Arby's sauce as much as I do, this is a must-make! It's super easy and goes great on a lot of different dishes. Plus, you probably already have the ingredients in the fridge or pantry right now. Try putting some of this sauce on a Jucy Lucy Burger or using it as a dipping sauce for a Texas-Style Smoked Brisket!

    Ingredients

    Copycat Arby's sauce ingredients labeled on a wooden table.

    This recipe uses water, ketchup, brown sugar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and kosher salt.

    I'm almost positive you already have all these things, so it's just a matter of mixing them...well...kind of.

    See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Ketchup being added to a small sauce pan over a heating element.

    Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk to be sure everything is thoroughly combined. Bring to a slow boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Sauce being stirred in a small sauce pan over a heating element.

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool. Pour the sauce into a condiment squeeze bottle or a mason jar and refrigerate for up to a week.

    Expert Tips

    • While it may seem counterintuitive to add white vinegar and apple cider vinegar, I recommend this, as using just one or the other slightly changes the flavor.
    • If you have a cooking blender, you can save time using the purée setting instead of making this on the stove.
    • I like to transfer the Arby's sauce to a squeeze bottle for easier storage and use. Plus, it will be good in the fridge for about 4-5 days.
