This roasted garlic and balsamic steak sauce is a sophisticated, plant-based condiment that brings a deep, savoury complexity to your dinner table. By combining the natural sweetness of raisins and applesauce with the sharp tang of balsamic vinegar and red currant jelly, it creates a balanced glaze that rivals any traditional steakhouse offering. The addition of roasted garlic provides a mellow, buttery undertone that ties the vibrant ingredients together perfectly.

As a versatile vegan store-cupboard staple, this sauce is excellent when served alongside grilled Portobello mushrooms, roasted root vegetables, or plant-based steaks. Preparing it a day in advance allows the shallots and spices to fully infuse, resulting in a thick, glossy sauce with a professional finish. It is a brilliant make-ahead option for weekend entertaining or a simple way to elevate a mid-week roast.
