Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the melted butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir the ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and yellow mustard into the onion and butter; allow mixture to warm completely.
- Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and black pepper; cook in the skillet until browned on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the sauce from the skillet over the steaks.
- Bake in the preheated oven until meat is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, about 1 hour.
- Transfer the steaks from the baking dish to a platter, shaking any excess sauce from the meat. Stir the cornstarch and water together until smooth in a small bowl, then mix into the hot sauce remaining in the baking dish until the mixture begins to thicken; pour over the steaks to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmers market.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor. Some popular choices include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you want it sweeter, add some brown sugar or honey. If you want it spicier, add some cayenne pepper or sriracha sauce.
- Use the sauce on everything: Use your homemade barbecue sauce on grilled meats, chicken, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for fries, onion rings, or chicken nuggets.
Conclusion:
With a little effort, you can make your own delicious barbecue sauce at home. It's a great way to save money and control the ingredients in your food. Plus, it tastes so much better than store-bought sauce! So next time you're having a barbecue, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
