Categories     condiment

Time 55m

Yield about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup finely diced onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 cup beef stock
1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, then eat the bacon as a snack.
  • Add the onions to the pot with the bacon grease and cook over medium-low heat until the onions start to caramelize, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 minutes. Whisk in the stock, sugar, vinegar, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Let cool to room temperature before using. This sauce is great on brisket or beef ribs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. A good Texas-style BBQ sauce should have a balance of sweet, sour, and smoky flavors.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Texas-style BBQ sauce. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. You can add more or less heat, sweetness, or smokiness. Experimenting is the best way to find a sauce that you love.
  • Cook the sauce low and slow: This will help to develop the flavor and make the sauce more complex. Simmer the sauce for at least 2 hours, or longer if you have the time. The longer you cook it, the better it will taste.
  • Let the sauce age: After you've made the sauce, let it age for a few days before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Aging the sauce will also make it thicker and more flavorful.
  • Use the sauce on all your favorite foods: Texas-style BBQ sauce is great on grilled meats, chicken, and fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or as a marinade. Get creative and find new ways to use your homemade BBQ sauce.

Making your own Texas-style BBQ sauce is a great way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious sauce that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Give one of these recipes a try today!
