Ingredients for Beef Barbecue Sauce

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups beef stock

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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
