I love making BBQ sauce with beer in the ingredients. There is not much beer actually needed, because even a little bit of beer will give that enhanced flavour to the sauce. Along with the beer, there is onions, garlic, molasses, brown sugar and tomato paste. These all come together to make a sweet BBQ sauce packed with serious flavours.

Great recipes to use this sauce

It is very simple to make this sauce. I sauté the onions and garlic with butter in the saucepan. Once the onions are tender and transparent, add the rest of the ingredients, except the tomato paste. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

The last ingredient is the tomato paste. Whisk that in the sauce until it is smooth. Lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for 30 minutes. The aroma in the kitchen will be amazing.

Once the sauce has simmered, remove from the heat. The final step is to puree the sauce. While it is possible to use a hand immersion blender, I prefer to use a stand blender. This does a better job making the sauce nice and smooth.

Let the sauce cool slightly and then pour it into the blender jar. Process until very smooth.
