CAROLINA STYLE MUSTARD BBQ SAUCE



Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce image

Every BBQ novice (experts, too) should buy Mike Mills' book "Peace, Love, & BBQ" for recipes and BBQ lore... what a fun read and window into many regional favorites. Mike is certainly confident (and its justified): he declares that HIS Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce would be used by the legendary Maurice Bessinger (SC BBQ restauranteur) if only he had it! I told this to my neighbor who likes mustard sauces & has been known to frequent Maurice's establishments when I gave him a sample made according to Mike's recipe. Later on he informed me that Mike could be right... he liked Mike's Sauce better than Maurice's. Moreover, he wanted the recipe! I have tweeked the recipe a bit and love this sauce better than all other mustard-based sauces I have tried. It is also delicious on HAM sandwiches & sausage biscuits!

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, approximately

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups prepared yellow mustard (French's)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup tomato paste
5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can adjust to desired heat level)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan & whisk over medium heat.
  • Once the sauce is simmering, whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take 5 minutes or less.
  • Do not overcook (sauce requires less time simmering if sugar substitue is used).
  • Remove from heat and cool before using.
  • Store sauce in a sterilized GLASS jar in the refrigerator between uses.
  • (I sterilize a suitable empty BBQ sauce bottle by capping with 1/2 cup of cider vinegar inside it, swirling it by shaking several times over a few days, & then draining well when ready to fill with BBQ sauce.).
  • Optional: in place of the light brown sugar, use 1/2 cup of sugar substitute + 1T molasses. The sugar substitute version (which I now keep on hand) is diabetic friendly & easier to adapt to sugar substitute than most tomato based sauces I have attempted to modify & encountered consistency problems.

Yield Serves: 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork tenderloin
6 bacon strips
Carolina Mustard Sauce
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the tenderloin lengthwise into 6 long strips approximately 1/4 inch thick. Lay the slices on a cutting board; they should be the same size and shape as the bacon strips. Place a strip of bacon on top of each piece of tenderloin. Starting at one end, roll the tenderloin into a pinwheel medallion. Secure with two toothpicks.
  • Set aside 1 cup of the Carolina Mustard Sauce and apply remaining sauce to the outside of the pinwheels. Stir together the pecans, salt, and pepper, and coat the tenderloin pinwheels with the pecan mixture. Cut each of the pinwheels through the equator to make two thin pinwheel medallions.
  • Build a charcoal and/or wood fire for direct grilling. Place the medallions on the grill over medium-high heat (375 to 400°F) and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until the edges of the bacon start to crisp. Serve with the reserved sauce drizzled over each pinwheel.

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (5 -7 lb) boston butt (bone-in pork shoulder roast)
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup Dijon mustard
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (Crystal's is recommended)
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
10 -12 hamburger buns
3 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
thinly sliced sweet pickles or dill pickle
4 -6 cups wood chips, soaked for 1 hour in water to cover, then drained (hickory is recommended)

Steps:

  • Make the rub: add the mustard, paprika, salt, peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a bowl; stir to mix.
  • Sprinkle rub all over the pork, patting it onto the meat with your fingertips; let the pork cure at room temperature while you make the mop sauce.
  • Mop sauce: combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl; add in ½ cup water and whisk until salt dissolves.
  • Set up grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium-low-for a gas grill, place all the wood chips in the smoker box and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then decrease heat to medium low.
  • When ready to cook, place the pork, skin side up, in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat, and cover the grill.
  • Cook the pork until darkly browned on the outside and very tender inside, 4-6 hours.
  • Test for doneness with an instant read thermometer; the internal temperature should be about 195°; if the pork starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with foil.
  • Every hour, for the first 4 hours, swab the pork with some of the mop sauce, using a barbecue mop or basting brush.
  • Make the mustard barbecue sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in onion and garlic; cook until soft but not brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, and hot sauce; add ½ cup of water; let sauce simmer, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, 6-10 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning, adding more hot sauce as needed and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the sauce cool to room temperature before serving.
  • When the pork is done, transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • You could pull the pork or chop the pork, but Steven likes to thinly slice it across the grain.
  • Place the pork slices in a foil pan if you are not quite ready to serve, cover the pan with foil and place it on a warm, not hot, grill or in an oven turned on low.
  • To serve: brush the buns with melted butter and lightly toast them on the grill; load each bun with sliced pork and slather with mustard sauce.
  • Top the pork and sauce with pickles and serve at once.

CAROLINA MUSTARD SAUCE



Carolina Mustard Sauce image

Well, here it is, the bane of North Carolina barbecue. I don't know if it's the addition of mustard that brings frowns to the faces of North Carolina barbecue purists or the fact that this is a South Carolina sauce, but this sauce certainly illustrates the diverging tastes and traditions of barbecue in the Carolinas.
