Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Low Sodium Beef Broth
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and low sodium beef broth.
Add the molasses, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, and salt to the saucepan. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and the flavors combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the soy sauce cool completely.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer if desired for a smoother texture, then transfer the sauce to an airtight container or jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before use, as slight separation may occur.
