Barbecue Sauce - Thick and Spicy
By: Chipfo
Jan 2, 2008
This barbecue sauce is thick, semi-sweet and spicy. Not really hot spicy (just a little). If you are sensitive to spicy hot then omit the red pepper. This is pretty thick but can be thinned with additional broth or even beer. This is the sauce I made in my BBQ stand and it was a real hit, it took me around 6 months of trial and error to perfect it. If you like really sweet and mild then this is not for you. This is a sauce more for using after the meat has been smoked (or grilled), for use as a dipping sauce or for sandwiches.
SERVES 15
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried onions, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 bay leaf
Directions
1
Place all ingredients in a pot in order of list, stir with a whisk to blend, bring to a simmer and simmer very slowly for about an hour to an hour and a half. Watch carefully and stir so not to scorch the bottom.2
You can taste this at any time but before making adjustments I recommend simmering for an hour before making adjustments. If it is not sweet enough add more sugar, for thinner sauce add more broth, beer or water. Don't want little chunks of onion then sub a teaspoon or so of onion powder.

OK, I'm not just saying this because Chip is my best friend...and I promise he didn't threaten me to get a good review...This is the best BBQ sauce I ever tasted. It's just right, I didn't change a thing. I've made it twice so far. I won't be buying bottled stuff anymore! Thanks Chippy!!

I made this recipe exactly as written with no deviations. First let me say that I should either be embarrassed or applauded because I had every single ingredient on hand except the molasses. I made this sauce 5 days in advance and stored it in the refrigerator to allow it to love itself. My friend adored this sauce, which is a bold statement, as she really dislikes BBQ sauces of any kind. I filled 4 requests for the recipe at my BBQ and my hublet requested that I keep a bottle in the fridge, as he is the self proclaimed "Condiment King". This sauce is a perfect blend of ingredients and I love the thickness of the sauce without it being overpowering. It now has a permanent home in my fridge door.

This is fantastic sauce. Much better than bottles, and not that hard to make. The only thing I changed, was using chipotle chili powder for the regular. Gave it a little added heat and smokiness. Used this to baste bbq'd chicken, and also has a dipping sauce at the table. Made for Spring 2008 PAC.
