Steak Sauce, Kitchen-made Style

This unfussy from-scratch steak sauce is so much better than store bought. Next time you grill steaks, smother your steak in this unfussy and flavor-packed sauce!

Spring is somewhat upon us and with that comes my regular other season…

Zee grilling season.

We grill A LOT in this house and Pat and I especially love a good grilled steak. SO while I like mine with this butter slowly melting over top, Pat sometimes likes his with steak sauce. But truth be told; a truly good steak shouldn’t need any sauce… I dunno… sometimes it only does.

But I also must tell you that steak sauce is truly versatile. Throw in some cayenne or a minced chipotle for some heat, or maybe add balsamic instead of white wine vinegar for a little panache. Did I simply say that?

Stay tuned… because I have another recipe coming up featuring this sauce like you would never believe. So stay tuned for that, but first you get zee sauce.

Raise your hand if you have all this in your cupboard.

Start by chopping up an onion… it truly doesn’t need to be all that reliable because it will be strained later on. It’s purely a habit that this onion is chopped this precisely and a little part of the anal-retentive Virgo in me; because truly you could entirely hack the ish out of this onion and it won’t truly matter.

Also, roughly chop, mince or hack the ish out of the two cloves of garlic.

Throw all that into a small sauce pan.

Put the squeeze on an entire lemon… medium sized.

And add in the dark brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, tamari, water and mustard right on into that pot. Now if you want to be even MORE scratch-y you could make your own ketchup!

Whisk all those goodies together.

Bring it to a boil, then reduce to medium-high and let it simmer away for 30 or until it’s niiiiiice and thiiiiiick.

Pour the reduced steak sauce through a mesh strainer…

Use a spoon or the whisk to push the from-scratch steak sauce through so only the onions and garlic remain.

Let the kitchen-made steak sauce cool before storing in the fridge, or serve it warm with a nicely charred rib-eye!
