Apple-Bourbon Steak Sauce

Apple-Bourbon Steak Sauce

(3½-4 cups)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Olive Oil

1 medium Vidalia Onion, chopped

1 medium Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and chopped

½ tsp. Kosher Salt

2/3 cup Raisins

1 cup Bourbon

1/3 cup Molasses

¼ cup Brown Sugar

3 tbsp. Cider Vinegar

1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp. Ketchup

1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:

Sauté onions in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.  Next, add the apple, salt and continue cooking another 5 minutes.  Now add the raisins and bourbon.  Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce liquid by half (about 10 minutes).  Turn heat down to medium and remaining ingredients.  Continue to simmer another 2 minutes.  Taste and adjust with salt and vinegar if needed.  Remove from heat and let cool.  Using a blender, puree the mixture until smooth and use on grilled steaks or refrigerate until needed.

Note:               Try using Irish whisky, Scotch or rum for a slightly different taste profile.
