Ingredients
- Bacon
- 4 slices, chopped
- Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Beef broth
- 1 cup
- Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat behind. Set the bacon aside on a paper towel to drain.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the caramelized onions and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to lift any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Just before serving, stir in the reserved crispy bacon to retain its crunchiness.
- Drizzle this luscious sauce over your cooked steak, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
- This sauce can also be used over grilled chicken or roasted vegetables for a versatile flavor enhancer.
- To enhance the depth of flavor, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine before adding the beef broth.
