Homemade Classic Steak Sauce

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the saucepan.

Whisk all ingredients together until well combined. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1/4 cup of water to reach your desired consistency.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Transfer the cooled steak sauce to an airtight container or a jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
