BAR-B-Q SAUCES
List of Ingredients
BBQ SAUCES
Just as a friendly reminder, sauce does not the Barbecue make. In other words sauce ain't what makes the "Q" taste good. As a matter of fact some Smoke Masters may take offence at the act of slathering their creation with sauce. The preparation and cooking method are what really matters for great flavor. I had an uncle who owned a cattle ranch ,and he would come back to haunt me if I ever put steak sauce on a mesquite grilled steak.
But, don't get me wrong I love getting sauce all over my face and licking my fingers just as much as the next guy . I just think there's a time and place for everything and the meat should be tasted before being drowned. Marinades and Mops are diffrent, while they add taste they also keep moisture in the meat. So what I'm going to do is give you a few basic sauces and you can build on them . In the end it's all about what you like, so do as you will.
