How to Make Michael's Steak Sauce
- Soak 1/2 cup raisins in 1 cup hot water until very soft (about 15 minutes).
- Set the softened raisins aside, reserving the soaking liquid.
- Sauté 1 large onion, chopped, over medium heat until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Increase heat to high. Add 1 cup dry red wine, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the softened raisins (and 1/4 cup of the reserved raisin liquid if needed for consistency).
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool completely.
- Carefully pour the cooled sauce into a blender (no more than halfway full). Puree until completely smooth.
- If necessary, puree in batches.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a few teaspoons of water at a time while blending until it reaches your desired consistency.
