In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, and vegetable oil, stirring well to mix.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar to the saucepan. Whisk until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the finely chopped onion to the mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the onions to soften.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. For a smoother consistency, you may strain out the onion bits, but leaving them in adds texture and flavor.
Use the mop sauce to baste your barbecue meats during the smoking or grilling process, brushing it onto the meat every 30-40 minutes for a rich, tangy flavor infusion.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before using again.
