THE WORLDS BEST BARBECUE SAUCE



The Worlds Best Barbecue Sauce image

This sauce is great for chicken or ribs, and can even be used in place of ketchup on your fries and burgers. It's really good for making chicken wings. I'm sure this sauce could be used in a lot of other dishes and recipes; just use your imagination. It is sweet with a bit of zip. It keeps well in the refrigerator.

BEST BARBECUED MEAT AND HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE



Best Barbecued Meat and Homemade Barbecue Sauce image

All types of meat can be barbecued, but the various cuts have to be treated differently. For instance, thin steaks, pork chops and chicken legs cook in a very different way from a whole leg of lamb, pork ribs or a large chicken. If you were to cook them all the same way, the larger cuts would end up nicely cooked on the outside but raw in the middle. Here I'm going to show you how to barbecue larger cuts of meat so they're flavored and moist in the middle and golden and crisp on the outside every time. The thing to remember is to cook the meat through in the oven first, without coloring it, to make it lovely and juicy, then finish it off on the barbecue, basting the meat with the marinade and cooking juices. PS This recipe makes enough marinade for 1 of the types of meat listed in the ingredients. However, I love to do three different types of meat at the same time - if you want to do that, make three times the amount of marinade.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 heaped teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
5 cloves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bunch fresh thyme or lemon thyme, leaves picked
Bunch fresh rosemary, leaves picked, a few whole sprigs reserved
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 bulb garlic, broken into cloves and peeled
4 heaped teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup organic tomato ketchup
8 tablespoons olive oil
10 bay leaves
1 (3-pound) free-range or organic chicken, spatchcocked or 1 (7-pound) leg of lamb, on the bone, slashed evenly 1/4-inch deep or 4 1/4 pounds pork rib racks

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and light your barbecue about 40 minutes later.
  • To make your marinade, grind the cumin seeds, fennel seeds and cloves in a pestle and mortar with some salt and pepper. Chop the thyme and rosemary leaves, orange zest and garlic together finely. Put into a bowl with the ground spices, then add the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix together.
  • Rub your chosen meat all over with the marinade, really getting it into all the nooks and crannies and, in case of the lamb, the slashes. Place the meat in a snug-fitting roasting pan, top with any leftover marinade and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake the meat in the preheated oven until sweet and tender. This will take 1 1/2 hours for the pork ribs and the lamb (but if you like your lamb pink, it will only need 1 hour), and 1 hour and 20 minutes for the chicken.
  • Now you're going to finish your meat on a medium hot barbecue. Place it carefully on the bars of the barbecue and sear it well on 1 side, then turn it over. While it's cooking, use your reserved rosemary sprigs to baste the meat with the sticky juices from the bottom of the roasting pan. Keep turning and brushing the meat until you've built up a lovely sticky, charred crust, then take it off the barbie and rest it on a serving dish for a few minutes. Meanwhile, pop your roasting pan on the barbie or over a gas burner and let the juices reduce a bit.
  • Cut the pork into individual ribs, carve the leg of lamb into slices or tear the chicken into pieces, and serve with a bowl of the lovely marinade juices from the roasting pan.

THE BEST BARBECUE SAUCE PERIOD



The Best Barbecue Sauce Period image

After being disgusted with super-syrupy bottled sauces full of HFCS I set out to create the greatest tomato-based BBQ sauce the world has ever known. Super tangy and full of meat-enhancing (not covering) flavor, this sauce is loved by everyone who tries it. What's great is that by changing amounts of, adding or omitting ingredients, you can make it your own! Don't even think about that terrible liquid smoke! Try some chipotle powder or one or two chipotles in adobo. It will also add some heat. For a Kansas City style sauce, omit the molasses, reduce the vinegar and add some heat like cayenne. Also, if you prefer you can use fresh garlic and onion. This sauce gets better and mellows once it's had a chance to sit a few days in the fridge and it cans well if you're into preserving. It's great as a finishing sauce for beef, pork or chicken, or as a meatloaf glaze. Of course everyone will rave when you serve it on the side or mixed into baked beans. If you omit the Worcestershire sauce (anchovies) this recipe is vegan. This recipe is easily halved.

Tips for Making the Best Barbecue Sauce:

  • Start with a good base: Use a combination of ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce as the base for your barbecue sauce. This will give you a well-rounded flavor that can be easily customized to your liking.
  • Add in your own unique ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients to create a barbecue sauce that is uniquely yours. Some popular options include honey, molasses, mustard, chili powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Simmer for a while: The longer you simmer your barbecue sauce, the more time the flavors have to meld and develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer for up to 2 hours for a really rich and complex flavor.
  • Taste test and adjust as needed: Once your barbecue sauce is done simmering, taste test it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sweetness, smokiness, or heat. Remember that you can always add more ingredients, but it's difficult to take them out.
  • Let it cool before using: Once your barbecue sauce is done, let it cool completely before using it. This will help the flavors to settle and mellow.

With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect barbecue sauce for your next cookout. Just remember to start with a good base, add in your own unique ingredients, simmer for a while, taste test and adjust as needed, and let it cool before using.
