How to Make Beer Barbecue Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of your favorite beer (stout or porter recommended), 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar (packed), 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. For best results, baste your meat with the sauce during the last 15 minutes of grilling time. Enjoy!
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
