- Place covered pan on a high heat grill and leave on burner until smoke start to form.
- Remove from burner and place in a 350° oven for 20 minutes until tomatoes are tender.

This is a life-saver for those who suffer migraines (me) and are on the migraine diet (once me) because steak sauce is one of the “can’t have” items.
Pinning this for sure.
Wow, I didn’t realize that was a no no for sufferers! So glad you may now have an option to enjoy it again!

Thank you, Miz Helen!
Homemade is always the best option. <ost of the store-bought stuff has so many additives.
Absolutely and this is the best way to keep all of that extra stuff out that you don’t want!
Pinned! This sounds so yummy!
I would love for you to share this with my Facebook Group for recipes, crafts, tips, and tricks: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pluckyrecipescraftstips/
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Thank you!
How long do you think this can be stored since all the additives are gone?
I would probably cap it at 7 days in the fridge. I did freeze half of my batch and the consistency was still pretty spot on but just slightly watery.
Sounds yummy. I think I will have to try this.
I hope you like it!
I have GOT to try this! Thanks so much for sharing your post with us on Whisk It Wednesday this week. Hope you have a great week and come back soon! Carrie
I think you’ll love it!
