Makes 3 cups of sauce
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1/3 cup minced onion
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup beef broth or water
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- Combine the butter, onion, and garlic in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the onion and garlic just start to cook. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and cook until the onions become transparent, about 10 minutes.
- Add the vinegar, ketchup, broth or water, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and salt and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to establish a simmer, and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the sauce to remove the onion and garlic pieces.
- The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
