TONKATSU STEAK SAUCE

This is classic Japanese sauce that is typically served on panko crusted pork cutlets. But… it can also liven up a steak. Give it a try!

Yield: 2 Cups

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 Tablespoons hot water

Mix this together and reserve a moment.

½ Cup ketchup

2 Tablespoons minced ginger

1 Scotch bonnet chile, stem and seeds discarded, minced

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 Tablespoons of granulated sugar

4 Tablespoons Worcestershire

4 Tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

4 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons sake

Zest of one orange

Mix all of this together and add the dry mustard mixture.

Reserve and use as desired.

Note: If you like your Tonkatsu sweeter add a touch more sugar than I do.
