Yield: about 1 quart
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup); 2 cloves garlic, smashed; 3 cups ketchup; 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar; 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar; 1/4 cup steak sauce; 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce; 3 tablespoons molasses; 3 tablespoons yellow mustard; 1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed; Kosher salt; 1 to 2 teaspoons liquid smoke, optional

Directions

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, until the onions are golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, 1 cup water, the vinegar, brown sugar, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, mustard, celery seed and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the liquid smoke, if using. Strain the sauce, pressing on the solids to extract any liquid.
