Looking for a great BBQ sauce recipe without ketchup

I'm a chef and I still use ketchup but an alternative would be a plain tomato sauce.

 

Have you tried Google?

 

Yes I can, but I'm not sure you want to put the labor in.

 

Didn't have success as in it didn't taste good?

 

Dinosaur BBQ's sauce, you can either buy it online or make it yourself:

doesn't taste like ketchup

 

Get a pit. Get a pot. Put the pot on the pit next to the meat.

Vinegar (white and apple cider)
Chili powder
Beer (I like Shiner black)
Garlic
Seeds: mustard, corriander, fennel, black peppercorns
Bourbon
Brown sugar
Powdered mustard (Colemans)
Sliced onions and serranos
Diced bacon and lemon juice

After a few hours strain it and blend it and add some tomato to make sauce.

 

tomato based hot sauce

 

Ketchup in BBQ sauce?

just LOL

 

• 2tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1medium onion, chopped
• 2garlic cloves, minced
• 1tablespoon chili powder
• 2tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2tablespoons mustard
• 1⁄3cup honey
• 1cup tomato sauce
• 1tablespoon liquid smoke
• 1teaspoon seasoning salt
• 2tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• pepper, to taste

1. Cook onion and garlic in oil until tender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

What part of "ketchup" is confusing?

 

Um, Ketchup and tomato sauce are not even remotely the same, unless you dip fries in tomato sauce.
Pretty sure I'm not the confused one...

 

They are in fact remotely similar, but whatsomever.

You can dip what little you have into whatever you've got, Roscoe.

Honey plus tomato sauce sounds like way too much sugar for me, I dunno though.

 

Simply stating that had he asked for a non-tomato based BBQ sauce, I would see what I could find. That wasn't what he asked.

 

God Bless ya, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

Tomato sauce & ketchup are very different ingredients. Tomato sauce is essentially tomatoes, garlic & olive oil. Ketchup is essentially tomatoes & vinegar. I promise you, they bring far different tastes to BBQ sauces.

 

White sauce

 

I never use tomatoes. Not to say that there is anything wrong with it. I try to use mainly what was produced from the meat or meat prep.

In a nutshell, I made a bbq sauce from the bbq meat that I'm making.

Do you use a mop? If so, that becomes your base after the last mop. Or make a beef base from trimming/or buy a bad cut of meat for it. If you needed a water pan for your meat, add that to the mop. (Maybe you I would have added some meat trimmings in that drip pan or mop at some point during the smoking. The idea here is to get the actual flavor from the smoker into the BBQ sauce.

Then there are several ways to spice it. Might not need any extra spicing. I reduce the mixture and add Molasses to thicken and some butter to finish. You can also add that BBQ sauce that someone bought your for a gift 2 yrs ago, and you never used it.

If you want it thicker, add arrow root.
