“Steak sauce” is a little misleading, as this sauce is great on other things too. Grilled chicken is particularly good with it, even veggies too.
I am baffled at recipes for steak sauce, BBQ sauce, or other homemade condiments and the main ingredient is ketchup. If you are going to the trouble of making a homemade condiment do yourself a favor and use tomato products, not a premade ketchup as a base.
The end of summer is fast approaching. But do yourself a favor and have at least one more grill night and take a tiny bit of time to make this easy amazing sauce. I’m sure we’ll have it in winter even!
