What About BBQ Sauce?

BBQ Bible, recipes Truth about bBQ Sauce So you think you are into BBQ Sauce? If you think of BBQ Sauce as sweet and tomato based, you need to visit some other regions of the country. Each region across the Southern and Western United States has its own version of barbecue sauce. Some use tomatos, some use mustard, and some use jalapeno peppers . *********************** Barbecue sauces have a uniquely Southern and Western U.S. history. Most experts agree that the practice of adding sauce and spices to meat and fish began early in our history, with Native Americans teaching the art to early European settlers. The natives probably developed the process as part of an attempt to keep meats and fish from spoiling quickly. Salt played a major role in those early barbecue sauces, and salt is a well-known preservative in the meat curing process. Because the nations first European arrivals lived on the East Coast of America, that part of the country is credited with spawning the original barbecue sauce styles. First and foremost, there are the various Carolina barbecue sauces. The most widely known are East Carolina, Piedmont, and South Carolina varieties. East Carolina barbecue sauce consists of vinegar, salt, black pepper, and crushed or ground cayenne peppers. Its a very simple sauce that penetrates the meat nicely for a deep flavor. Piedmont barbecue sauce only varies from East Carolina in that it often includes molasses or Worcestershire sauce and thus clings to the meat more. South Carolina sauce is entirely different, using a mustard base instead, producing a much tangier and sharp flavor. Then there is Memphis or Southern style barbecue sauce. This popular variety is typically more complicated (flavor-wise) and is built around mustard, tomato, and vinegar. Fans often point to the boldness of these flavor combinations as the hallmark of Memphis barbecue sauce. A saying often heard among hungry connoisseurs is no two bites alike. Continuing our trek westward, we come to the acknowledged center of the barbecue universe Kansas City! Kansas City barbecue sauce is distinguished by its noticeably thicker consistency and emphasis on sweetness. Thats because this style of sauce is built upon thick tomato sauce, chunks of vegetables, and lots of sugar. Many popular commercial brands are based on this Kansas City recipe. It’s most popular among amateur backyard grillers because of the availability in grocery stores (Kraft, Heinz, K.C.s Masterpiece, etc.). And also because the thick sauce can be applied only once and enough will remain [...]

My BBQ Beef Recipe from time to time I have found a receipe , that I love. This one however, was passed down from my grandmother to my mother to me. 1 green pepper, chopped 1 1/2 lbs. of ground buffalo, or organic beef 1 small bottle of catshup 1 large can of stewed, chopped tomatoes pickling spice. saute pepper, cook beef, mix it all together and take a piece of gauze or a old handkerchief and put in the center about 3 teaspoons of pickling spice. Tie it with a piece of string and drop the end with the spice into the BBQ mix. Cook about two or more hours. The pickling spice gives it an outstanding taste. Leftovers taste better.
