Awesome Sauce (BBQ Sauce)
BBQ sauce is not just BBQ sauce. The sauces in Kansas tend to be sweeter, while those in Texas are spicier. This BBQ sauce originates from South Carolina and is somewhat sweet with a notable mustard flavor.
1 cup passata
1/2 cup dark agave syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp paprika or 1 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tbsp ground mustard seeds
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp Frank's RedHot sauce
Combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. This keeps in the fridge for a week.
I tried baking pork ribs in the oven with this sauce, and it turned out incredibly well.
The ribs were marinated overnight in the sauce, wrapped in foil, and then baked at a low temperature (150°c) in the oven for 2.5 hours.
Afterwards, we quickly placed them on the grill and brushed them with more BBQ sauce to get that sticky, appetizing finish.
