Caramelized onion beer barbecue sauce served

Caramelized Onion Beer Barbecue Sauce

Barbecue sauce is an iconic element of American cuisine, prepared with different flavors in various regions. This caramelized onion beer version is built on the balance of sweet and smoky flavors, enriched by the beer and made special by the caramelized onion. As the onion slowly caramelizes, the sweet aromas mingle with the malty aroma of the beer, which is mouth-watering in itself. This sauce is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, hamburgers, or even roasted vegetables. The secret to the perfect barbecue sauce is time and patience: let the onion caramelize beautifully and the sauce thicken slowly. If you want a spicier flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Peel the red onions and slice them into thin rings. Mince the garlic finely.

    2

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and caramelize over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and sweet.

    3

    Add the minced garlic to the caramelized onions and sauté for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.

    4

    Pour in the beer, then stir in the tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly.

    5

    Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until thickened.

    6

    Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then, blend until smooth with an immersion blender or in a regular blender if you prefer a smoother consistency.

    7

    Pour into a clean jar or serve immediately with grilled meats and vegetables. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
