Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

Mix the Base Ingredients

  • Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and water to a saucepan. Stir until everything looks smooth and blended well.

Add the Seasonings Slowly

  • Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard, and cayenne. Stir the mixture gently to keep the sauce even.

Heat the Sauce on Low Flame

  • Place the saucepan on low heat. Let the sauce warm slowly to avoid burning or sticking to the pan.

Add Vinegar and Brown Sugar

  • Pour in apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Keep stirring to help the sugar melt and mix with the sauce.

Let the Sauce Simmer Well

  • Simmer for 15 minutes. This helps the flavors deepen and gives the sauce a rich restaurant-style flavor.

Stir Often to Avoid Burning

  • Stir every few minutes. This prevents the sauce from burning and keeps the texture smooth and silky.

Check the Thickness Carefully

  • If the sauce looks thin, cook a few minutes more. If too thick, add a little water to adjust.

Taste and Fix Flavors

  • Taste the sauce gently. Add more sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess.

Strain for a Smooth Texture

  • Strain the sauce through a fine strainer if you want it extra smooth and silky for serving.

Cool and Store Safely

  • Cool the sauce fully. Then store it in a clean jar and refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • Use smoked paprika for a deeper smoky flavor.
  • Add honey if you want a sweeter sauce.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for stronger flavor.
  • Add hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Simmer longer for thicker and richer sauce.
  • Use balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar for a sweeter tang.
  • Add butter at the end for a glossy and richer texture.
