Spices:

Instructions
- Gather ramekin and blend tangy tomato concentrate, robust Worcestershire, zesty vinegar, and aromatic spices into smooth liquid mixture.
- Transfer combined ingredients into medium saucepan, positioning over moderate flame around 325°F.
- Gently agitate liquid while heating, watching for initial bubble formation and consistent temperature.
- Decrease thermal intensity, allowing concoction to softly bubble and reduce for approximately 20 minutes, periodically stirring to prevent scorching.

- Choose ripe, high-quality tomato paste for a rich, deep flavor base that elevates the entire sauce.
- Experiment with different vinegar types like apple cider or balsamic to create unique flavor variations that complement your steak.
- For a lower sugar version, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
- Blend the cooled sauce until smooth for a more consistent texture, ensuring no chunky ingredients disrupt the silky sauce experience.
