Homemade A.1. Steak Sauce

This is a recipe I'm working on adjusting so it fits my tastes exactly, but it works as is if you need to replace your A1 stat. It's dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan if your ingredients are.

It's not a straight-across replacement for A1; it's not as sweet and has a strong vinegar bite that's different from A1's mild tang. It's also pretty hot thanks to the dijon mustard, so I cut that back to, like, 1-2 tablespoons. I add an extra garlic clove or two, and I put some cornstarch in at the end to thicken it because I can't stand around waiting for it to cook down on its own. It's pretty thin without it.

It's a little bit of a pain to make, and the instructions aren't totally clear. Like it calls for 1/4 of an orange, but in the most confusing way possible. Still, it's a solid steak sauce and adds a lot of flavor to steaks and hamburgers, and I'm sure there's nothing stopping you from putting it on a pork chop or a bean patty or whatever.
