Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Beef Bouillon Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until it melts and caramelizes into a dark brown syrup, approximately 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 2
Slowly add the water to the caramelized sugar, whisking constantly. The mixture will sputter initially, so pour carefully.
Step 3
Once the water is fully incorporated, add the beef bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce, and salt.
Step 4
Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring often, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 6
Transfer the sauce to a clean, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 7
Use as a flavor and color enhancer in gravies, soups, stews, or any dish that calls for browning sauce.
