This is a simple barbecue sauce that works well for everyday meals, even with leftover meat and picky eaters. It is best served with soda and rice, and perhaps also steamed vegetables.

The ideal meat to use would be thin slices of eye-of-round beef roast. The sauce also goes well with chicken, turkey, and pork.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup (62.5 mL) brown sugar
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic powder
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) paprika powder
• 2 tsp (10 mL) salt
• 1 heaping tsp (6.66 mL) of ground coffee beans
• 1 cup (250 mL) ketchup
• ½ cup (125 mL) water
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) white vinegar
• A shot of whiskey or ½ shot of cognac
• A squeeze of lemon juice

Procedure

1. Mix everything in a pot.
2. Let it simmer for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes, tips, and variations

1. You may optionally add 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of onion powder, and/or aromatics (e.g. thyme or rosemary) to the sauce
2. You may optionally add 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of rice vinegar, but if you do, add only 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of white vinegar
