I'm looking for a very simple BBQ sauce recipe. Have any tried anything like
this?
This is from "Awesome BBQ Sauce" from allrecipes.com.
Obviously it's very simple. I'd probably use powdered garlic.
It gets very positive reviews.

It'll be WAY sweet! I'd drop the sugar down to 1/4 cup and add 1/4 cup
vinegar. Too much soy for my taste. Also, I don't care for rum, but
that's a personal choice. I'd substitute some spices for the rum, or
just molasses. Also, you need a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper.

Save yourself the kitchen time and purchase a bottle of:
Jack Daniel's - Original No.7 Recipe - barbecue sauce.

It's good. Cattleman's makes a good one too.

I bought a bottle of JD's Rich Honey BBQ sauce when we were down in Hobart
recently.

I like it, but the SO isn't keen on the taste.

Simple, water, vinegar, spices. Simple.

The only widely BBQ sauce I can tolerate, other than Scott's, is Stubb's.
No sweets for me.

been waiting until my recipe gets published in all recipee's.

There are all sorts of other options that are not as well known.
Mustard based sauces might or might not be considered vinegar based for
example.

I'm a vinegar fan as well. I don't get why folks would want to add
sugar to meat. I know it works because I like good Q but every so often
I'll make my own sauce based on assorted chili powders and various spice
powders that uses enough vinegar to turn it into a thin paste. No
sugar. Far too expensive to turn into a commercial product and care
needs to be taken when chosing the chilis to keep it from getting too
hot.

You have tomato based (Kansas City Style), Mustard based (South Carolina
style), vinegar based (North Carolina style often a mop sauce with
peppers), and I'm sure many others too.

I start with maybe 1/4 apple cider vinegar, a splash of soy sauce and
worchestershire sauce, and start adding a little yellow mustard,
ketchup, honey, and hot sauce at a time in a saucepan, under low heat
and stirring constantly, until I get the taste the way I like it.

Here's one that I got about 6 years ago. I tried it and it's good but
still, I gave up making my own barbeque sauce. You can buy many good ones
cheap and save all the trouble. Heck, I've even used the cheap generic
store brand and was happy. By the time it mixes with your meat flavor, just
about any is good. Just my opinion though.

Agreed. In particular, Trader Joe's Kansas City BBQ Sauce is excellent, IMO.

We got a great mustard sauce made near me. It's yellow, fairly neutral.
Pennsylvania Gold, by BBQ Stu. I have not tried it on everything, but it's
great on hot dogs.

My recipe again. I will not say easy. You got to pulverize everything.


48 oz. cannned tomatoes in water.
1 can 15 oz whole beets
4 celery stalks
2 carrots
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teas. ground cloves
3 teas. marjoram
1 Handfull Spinach leaves.
1/3 teas Cinamon
1 1/2 teas. Oregano
1/3 teas. Celery seed.
3 to 4 teas. sea salt.
1 1/2 tbls. black pepper
1 lemon, zest taken off then squeezed without seeds.

The last 4 words in your post says it all. I have tried lots of
barbecue sauces both home made and commercially available, i have even
tried my hand at makeing a few, but i much prefer a cream or a cheese
sauce and the simple pan sauces are a favorite, especially red wine
sauces made with pan juices & fond from english short ribs. Needles to
say i don't barbecue a lot

Don't get me wrong, i have a bottle of "cuccina toscana" onion and
garlic barbecue sauce (it was on sale as well as a bottle of Heinz
"cocktail sauce" and some various other seasonings and condiments, but
im more likely to season a dish with them, than make them into a sauce.
Though i am partial to those BBQ sauces with American whiskey in them.

Madeira in a BBQ sauce? Truffled BBQ sauce?

The NY Times recently had a article on and a recipe for "tournedos Rossini"

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/29/di...fort-food.html

2 filets mignons, about 5 ounces each
Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup fond de veau (veal stock) or 1 tablespoon veal demi-glace
(available in fine food markets) mixed with 3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon truffle juice
1 teaspoon chopped black truffles
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 slices French bread, trimmed to the shape of the filets mignons
2 slices fresh foie gras, about 2 ounces each
2 tablespoons Madeira
2 thin slices black truffle.
1. Season the filets mignons with salt and pepper; set aside. In a small
bowl, combine the veal stock or demi-glace, truffle juice and chopped
truffles; set aside.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a third of the butter with
the oil and quickly fry the slices of bread until lightly browned on
both sides; remove and set aside. Add another third of the butter to the
skillet, and sauté the filets mignons over high heat for 4 minutes a
side for rare or 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Remove the filets
from the skillet, set aside and keep warm.

3. Using the same skillet and high heat, sauté the foie gras slices 90
seconds on each side and put 1 slice on each of the filets.

4. Discard all fat from the skillet. While the skillet is still hot, add
the Madeira, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the veal stock mixture,
bring to a quick boil, then remove from heat and stir in the remaining
butter to make a silky sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. On each of two plates, place the croutons in the center and top with
the filet mignon and foie gras. Garnish with a slice of truffle on the
top. Spoon the sauce over and around. Serve hot.

Yield: 2 servings.

Kent, how was it?
Looks like a lot of sugar for the rest of the ingredients. <shrug> Are
you happy with it or are you looking for a recipe?
