How to Make Beef Barbecue Sauce
- In a non-reactive saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour in the beef stock, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar syrup (or molasses), Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and chili peppers. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- After 30 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, chili powder, or vinegar depending on your preference.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving or storing. The flavor will deepen as it cools.
