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:

  • To make the sauce thicker, simmer it for a longer period of time.
  • For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
  • Add a tablespoon of brown sugar for a sweeter sauce.
  • If you like a spicy sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • For a tangy sauce, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Store the sauce in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
