Birch Syrup dipping sauce

Berwyn Larson and I invented this sauce for an event in Toronto several years ago. We used blended syrup, but it’s even better made with late season syrup. Try it with a bison or moose steak sliced thinly, tumbled in garlic, ginger, juniper berries, and a splash each of birch syrup, canola oil, and soy sauce, then stir-fried over high heat for 30 seconds.
