Gluten Free A1-Style Steak Sauce
That bold, tangy steak sauce you grew up with is surprisingly easy to recreate at home — and this version is completely safe for anyone avoiding gluten. The trick is swapping in a certified gluten free Worcestershire sauce, since the standard bottled stuff often contains malt vinegar and can be a hidden source of gluten. From there, it's a straightforward simmer of tomato paste, two kinds of vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and a warm blend of spices that builds serious depth in under 20 minutes. The balsamic and white wine vinegar work together to give it that signature sweet-tart backbone, while allspice and cayenne add just enough complexity to keep things interesting. You strain it at the end for a silky, restaurant-quality finish that's miles better than anything in a bottle. It makes 12 servings, so you can keep a jar in the fridge and reach for it all week on steaks, burgers, or roasted vegetables without a second thought.
