Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 cup beef stock
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to enhance its depth of flavor.
Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and dark brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Slowly add the beef stock, stirring constantly to blend all the ingredients into a smooth mixture.
Season with black pepper, ground coriander, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.
If a smoother texture is desired, use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If a sweeter sauce is preferred, add a small pinch of extra brown sugar.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or jar. Serve warm or at room temperature alongside your favorite steak.
