If you love A1 steak sauce, you'll love this homemade version of steak sauce. Tamarind concentrate gives it an authentic flavor; if you can't find it at your supermarket, look for it at your local Middle Eastern market or online. Fresh horseradish gives the steak sauce a bolder, spicier taste, but you can use prepared jarred and just add an extra teaspoon.
Prep Time
Cook Time
1 Tablespoon | olive oil |
1 1/2 Cup | chopped yellow onion |
1/4 Cup | chopped jalapeño |
1 Teaspoon | minced garlic |
1 Cup | dark brown sugar |
1/2 Cup | distilled white vinegar |
1/3 Cup | chopped fresh horseradish |
1/4 Cup | diced, peeled lemon |
1/4 Cup | maple syrup |
1 Tablespoon | chopped anchovies |
1 Tablespoon | tamarind concentrate |
2 | whole cloves |
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 Cup chopped yellow onion
1/4 Cup chopped jalapeño
1 Teaspoon minced garlic
Step 2
Add the sugar, vinegar, horseradish, lemon, maple syrup, anchovy, tamarind concentrate, cloves, 1½ teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until just slightly reduced, 15 to 20 minutes.
1 Cup dark brown sugar
1/2 Cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 Cup chopped fresh horseradish
1/4 Cup diced, peeled lemon
1/4 Cup maple syrup
1 Tablespoon chopped anchovies
1 Tablespoon tamarind concentrate
2 whole cloves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Step 3
Carefully transfer to a blender or food processor and blend just long enough to break everything up, about 5 seconds. (We like this on the chunky side, but you can blend longer for a smoother sauce.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for a week. Enjoy!
