HOW TO MAKE STEAK SAUCE
The trick to the best ever steak sauce is to balance sweet and tangy flavor to your own taste. Personally, I like more tangy flavor, but feel free to add honey or sugar for your favorite balance. Also, try to find the highest-quality balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard for this recipe.
- The first step is to add all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and then let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Next, have a quick taste-test. Add sugar if you’d like the sauce to be slightly sweeter. Cook the sauce until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- (Optional) If you like a perfectly smooth sauce, you can puree it in a blender until smooth, and then strain it through a sieve.
Remember that the sauce thickens as it cools.
HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE STEAK SAUCE LAST?
Let your steak sauce cool completely before storing. Then transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It can last for about 1 week. You can also freeze them in airtight freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.
