Consider this a recipe for a classic steak sauce, updated; that's bourbon syrup, made with real ingredients in a flash. Sure, you could buy a sauce at the grocery store, but making it yourself is quicker and tastier. Serve it alongside a grilled rib-eye.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup bourbon
Salt

Steps:

  • Put the balsamic vinegar and bourbon in a small nonreactive pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes; it should coat the back of a spoon and will thicken a little more as it cools. Salt to taste, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Balsamic & Bourbon Barbecue Sauce image

Balsamic vinegar gives this already very savory sauce additional depth and a rich dark color. It also helps it adhere better to grilling meat, combining with the brown sugar and soy sauce to create a nice glaze. Asian and Middle Eastern grocers sell all kinds of hot chili paste - choose the degree of fire you prefer. My fave is harissa, from Tunisia.

  • Reduce the syrup until it is thick and syrupy. This will help it adhere to food and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Store the syrup in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the syrup for up to 6 months.
  • Use the syrup on pancakes, waffles, French toast, ice cream, or fruit. You can also use it as a glaze for grilled meats or vegetables.
