How to Make Beer Bbq Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup beer (dark or amber recommended), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
- Add your favorite protein (e.g., ribs, chicken, brisket) to a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the sauce over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
- When ready to grill, remove the meat from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the meat to your desired doneness, basting frequently with the reserved marinade during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
- For an extra glossy finish, you can briefly whisk in 1 tablespoon of butter at the end.
