Memphis-Style BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 tbsp. ketchup
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup steak sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tbsp. molasses
• 3 tablespoons mustard
• 1/2 tsp ground celery seeds
• Coarse salt
• 1 - 2 tsp. liquid smoke (liquid smoke flavoring)

Preparation:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 6-7 minutes, until golden brown. Add the ketchup, 1 cup water, vinegar, brown sugar, both sauces, molasses, mustard, celery seed, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the onion is soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in the liquid smoke and strain the sauce through a sieve.
