½ teaspoon	Cayenne pepper

4	Lemon -- quartered
¼ cup	Worcestershire sauce
2	Bay leaves
	Beer

Melt the butter, add the onions and garlic, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes to soften. Add the beer, squeeze in the lemon juice, and add the lemon rinds to the pot. When the foam subsides, add all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a medium low and simmer for 20 minutes. Keep baste warm, adding beer and oil as needed.

By the way, you'll notice that there are no tomatoes, ketchup, or sugar in this recipel. All of these things caramelize and burn quickly, giving the meat a nasty taste.
