Recipe: Steak Sauce

Now that you've made ketchup/catsup (see yesterday's post), it's time to make your own steak sauce!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons strained catsup

3 finely minced shallots

1 teaspoon anchovy extract

1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves

1 quart strong vinegar (we use apple cider to be gluten-free)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Place that saucepan in a larger pot of boiling water (keeping the water from getting in the medium saucepan with your sauce), and keep boiling the water until the sauce in the inner pot is well heated but not yet boiling. Remove from the heat. Cover. Let stand 2 days. Strain finely then bottle/jar/can. Should keep for years if canned correctly.
