Chef'S Steak Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 quarts apple juice
1 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups molasses
2 cups water
1 1/2 lemons, juiced
2 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 jalapeno, halved
1 onion, quartered
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup garlic cloves
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 bay leaves

Preparation

Pour the apple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, molasses, water, and lemon juice into a large pot. Add the ginger, cayenne pepper, mustard, cloves, jalapeno, onion, peppercorns, garlic, horseradish, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce has reduced to half its original volume, about 2 hours. Strain through a fine sieve and cool before serving.
