Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoons Raisins
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup White Vinegar
- 0.25 cup Tomato Paste
- 0.5 cup Orange Juice
- 0.25 cup Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Place the raisins and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the raisins are plump and softened.
Transfer the raisin mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and add the white vinegar, tomato paste, orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool completely to allow the flavors to develop.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle to remove any solids for a smoother consistency (optional).
Store the sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy your homemade A1 Steak Sauce Clone as a dip, marinade, or finishing sauce for your favorite meats!
