Description

This zesty, vinegar-forward BBQ sauce is a classic companion for slow-cooked pork. The blend of white and cider vinegar provides a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the meat, while sautéed onions and garlic add savory depth. Simmered with chili sauce and spices, it creates a complex flavor profile that is both spicy and sweet. Ideal for soaking shredded pork right off the grill, this sauce penetrates the meat for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a 3-quart covered saucepan over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add white vinegar, cider vinegar, water, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, salt, and brown sugar to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and dry mustard.
  6. Mix well, cover, and let the sauce sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully blend before serving.
