Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and melted butter until smooth and evenly combined.

2. Add the garlic powder, paprika, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper, then stir until the seasonings are fully blended.

3. Pour in the water a little at a time and mix until the sauce reaches a smooth, creamy, drizzle-friendly consistency.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend and mellow.

5. Stir once more before serving, then drizzle or dip with your favorite hibachi-style foods.

Notes

Chilling the sauce makes a big difference, so do not skip the resting time if you want the best flavor.

Add a little extra water if the sauce thickens too much after refrigeration.

For a slightly smokier flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
