"This is a cross between a BBQ Sauce and a Glaze. It is very easy, and absolutely delicious over grilled steak, pork, poultry, and vegetables. I have even used this over salmon which is also very good. Best if made ahead of time; and, will last a good week in the refrigerator."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Onions ... Bring a small pot up to medium heat; and, saute the onions in the olive oil on medium heat until tender. Don't rush them, you don't want them to brown. Once they are tender, transfer to a small food processor along with the water, and puree until smooth. Return to the pot.
Step 2
Sauce ... Add the vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, mustard, a pinch of both salt and pepper to the pot with the onions; and mix to combine. Bring to a light boil; then, immediately reduce to low heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The sauce will naturally thicken. Once the sauce has thickened (reduced), remove from the heat, and let it cool. Refrigerate at least a couple of hours before using. The sauce will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator. I actually like to make this a day ahead if possible.
Step 3
Serve and ENJOY! ... Brush on steaks, chops, chicken, vegetables, etc. It is delicious, rich, and a great sauce. Use like you would a basic BBQ sauce. It's not quite as heavy; which I actually prefer; and, has a great tang to it.
