Best Lean And Mean Texas Barbecue Sauce Recipes

BARBECUE SAUCE - THICK AND SPICY

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a pot in order of list, stir with a whisk to blend, bring to a simmer and simmer very slowly for about an hour to an hour and a half. Watch carefully and stir so not to scorch the bottom. A slow cooker is perfect. I suggest serving warm, it is a thick sauce.
• You can taste this at any time but before making adjustments I recommend simmering for an hour before making adjustments to allow all the flavors to blend, you will not get the true finished flavor after just 5 minutes.
• If it is not sweet enough add more sugar, for thinner sauce add more broth, beer or water. Don't want little chunks of onion then sub a teaspoon or so of onion powder.
• This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. for bigger batches, I quadrupled it for the BBQ stand.
• This stores nicely in the refridgerator.

LEAN AND MEAN BARBECUED BRISKET RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• For the brisket: Rinse the brisket under cold running water and blot dry with paper towels. Combine all the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and stir to mix. Reserve 1 tablespoon. Rub the mixture into the brisket on all sides. If you have the time, let the brisket stand in the refrigerator, covered, for 4-6 hours. But you can certainly cook it right away. Combine all the ingredients for the mop sauce in a non-reactive bowl and stir until combined. For the BBQ Sauce: In a medium to large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter over medium heat until soft. Add remaining ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. NOTE: The sauce can be stored in a well-sealed container, in the fridge, for a few weeks. Set up the grill for indirect grilling, If using a gas grill, preheat to low. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips in a smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat on high until you see smoke then reduce the heat to low. When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss 1 cup of wood chips on the coals. Place the brisket, fat-side up in an aluminum foil pan and place in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat and over the grill. Grill the brisket until tender, about 4-6 hours (the cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and the heat of the grill). Baste or mop sauce once an hour for the first four hours. If using a charcoal grill, you'll need to add 12 fresh coals and 1/2 cup of wood chips per side every hour. To test for doneness, use an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should be about 190F. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain; using an electric knife or sharp carving knife. Transfer the slice meat to plates or a platter and pour the pan juices on top, if you desire. We like to serve BBQ sauce on the side.
