Recipe Notes
* Leting the sauce sit in the fridge for 1 or 2 days will help to let all the flavours stand out. * Not all maple syrup bottles/cans are created equals. You might end up with a more/less sugary taste. Always taste and rectify! * There are several flavours of Liquid Smoke. I think that all of them are good but you migth have a preference. Just try them all! * For a more Steaky flavour, try to add more Worcestershire sauce. * The sauce can be easily double, tripled, even quadrupled without any issue. (Maximum I did was to quintuple the recipe, I do not have a large enough sauce pan, yet.)
