I will admit that I’m a fan of Guy Fieri’s. Not so much his flair but the type of food he likes to make. Ok and maybe his taste in cars. And this Donkey Sauce for Burgers recipe is a good example of that. So if you’ve ever wondered what is in Guy Fieri’s donkey sauce, read on!
I don’t remember if I originally saw this recipe on TV or in one of Guy Fieri’s cookbooks but all I remember is he was making some gourmet burgers and topped it with something he called Donkey Sauce. So I absolutely had to figure out how to make Guy Famous Fieri’s Donkey Sauce.
Naturally, I decided to look into it as I wanted to make this donkey sauce recipe for myself and give it a try the next time I made burgers.
What is Donkey Sauce
Donkey Sauce is a creamy, garlicky burger sauce made famous by Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri. It’s a mix of mayo, garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Want to make it at home? Check out the recipe on our Printable Recipe Card!
If you are going to roast your own minced garlic versus buying some in a jar, make sure you don’t burn it. The easiest way is to add some olive oil to a skillet and roast it over low heat stirring often. There’s nothing worse than burnt garlic so be careful.
Tips
- Let the sauce sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. This will allow all the flavors to meld. You can use it immediately, but the longer you let it sit in the refrigerator, the more flavorful it will be.
This donkey sauce has a distinct garlic flavor so if you love garlic, this burger sauce is for you! If you are making Turkey Burgers, make sure you try my awesome Avocado Turkey Burger Sauce.

Notes
Nice addition to any burger, well done👍
Sounds like a good recipe, but you might want to look up “roast” in a dictionary. Cooking something in oil in a skillet is called sautéeing… definitely not roasting!
Thanks. Sounds Great
Unbelievable. Another critic. UGH!!!
@Eric – and what exactly have you contributed to society lately? Seriously is this your best effort? Get a life!
Hey buddy!
Thanks for the Donkey Sauce recipe! Had some beyond meat burgers yesterday and tried this recipe off your mailing….it was fantastic:) No kissing for a while, but it was worth it:)
Keep up the good work!
