Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making my homemade steak sauce is to take a quick taste before serving and adjust if needed. Sometimes I add a little extra maple syrup if I want it sweeter or a splash more vinegar if I want it tangier. A small tweak can really make the sauce just right for whatever I am serving.
- Use Good Quality Ingredients Since this recipe is so simple, using good quality tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, and tamari makes a big difference. I stick to ingredients I already trust and use in my kitchen.
- Whisk Well: I make sure to whisk everything really well until the sauce is completely smooth.
- Let It Chill If You Can: If I have time, I let the sauce sit in the fridge for a little while before serving. It helps the flavors deepen and makes the sauce even tastier.
- Adjust the Spice: When I know the kids will be eating it too, I go easy on the hot sauce. If I’m making it for friends who love a little heat, I’ll add an extra splash.
