    It's just like garlic powder but if Its hard to find suppose I'd substitue 1 tablespoon of onion carmelized and killed by a food processer=)

    Thanks, it's the sauce used on the 'Super' right? That's what I'm looking for. It's not on their menu anymore, but they always make it for me. Is there a similar product you can just buy at the store?

      You can still order the super just ask for super roast beef

      A long time ago when I worked for Arby's. If you went inside and talked to the manager on duty or a good cashier they would pump red sauce into a cup for you. I used to do it for my regulars. The sauce in the pump tastes much better than the packets they give out. I really miss the original jalapeno popper berry dip they had.

    I find catalina dressing to be very close

    I love the red ranch sauce and was going to give up finding a recipe and Voila! Thanks so much. Until now I used Catalina salad dressing.

    How important is the vinegar in this recipe? Would it mess up the flavor to omit it? Also, how close is this to the authentic sauce used on beef n cheese sandwiches? Is it the same level of sweetness and basic flavor?

      Not even close by my tastes, it's just a sweeter more vinegar ketchup from this recipe. Catali a salad dressing is the closest I've come to red ranch, I miss running an Arby's solely for that red ranch, it was good on everything.

      T. Marzettis salad dressing in the produce section had one called honey ranch that was 99% like Arby's red ranch. Kens salad dressing has oNE called country french that's about 80% close.

    Fran, did you mean Honey French? That's the only one I've been able to find. Catalina just seems to be missing something for me. Too one note.

      I fully agree that Catalina is missing something. But out of everything I've tried it's the closest to the flavour. When you put it on a roast beef sandwich you don't notice it's not quite right as much as other imposters. Though if you use the red ranch for other things, you certainly notice it. I love the red ranch with their mozzas sticks, onion petals and on their cordon Bleu sandwich. Work there long enough and you have to change things up every now and then.

      I'm actually at the point I may just contact my old boss and see if he'd let me order a bag or two of it, might be the only true way to get it

    Omit all spices but pepper replace with 1/2 tsp ranch powder hidden valley works fine. Use your favorite if you like. Desolve the power into vinegar or acidic liquid about 1/2 cup to 1 cup catchup or Catalina salad dressing. Add more vinegar or water at add to a consistency and taste you like.

    They call it Red Ranch and they will give you some in a little cup if you buy a side salad.

    Way, way too sweet! Too much sugar and a little to much vinegar. Use distilled vinegar instead. I compared t to the sauce on the sandwich tonight from Arby’s and this recipe isn’t even close.

    I have found that Russian dressing, similar to Catalina, but NOT the same, is very close. But like with the Catalina...there's something missing. Its hard to find Russian dressing anymore, too.

    I think the Russian is the closest I've come. A lot of people don't even know that Red Ranch exists. I had a friend that worked there years ago, and he said it was a highly guarded secret then, and they were instructednot to tell people what it was. Guess the secret's out. Looking forward to trying the recipe!

    If you haven’t tried Ken’s steakhouse honey French dressing it’s exactly the same as the red sauce
