Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle in the paprika, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper if you prefer a bit of heat.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a bit more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Serve the Steak Sauce Extraordinaire warm over your cooked steak, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
