In Lexington North Carolina the barbecue sauce recipe is mostly vinegar with just a touch of ketchup and hot pepper. Here's how to make an authentic NC Lexington Dip BBQ sauce and mop baste. Relying heavily on vinegar, apple juice, and red pepper flakes, this tangy sauce penetrates meat deeply to make it flavorful.

Lexington Dip BBQ Sauce Recipe

distilled vinegar

ketchup

apple juice

hot sauce

brown sugar

Morton coarse salt

red pepper

black pepper

Prep. Whisk together all the ingredients and let them sit for at least three hours to allow the flavors to meld. Overnight is better. A week is best.

Use. Divide the sauce in two. Use one for basting. The locals mop it on the meat with a basting brush once every hour while cooking. If you do mop, a good silicon brush is best. It holds lots of fluid and is easy to clean. A lot of places still use string mops, but I think these are too hard to clean and potential sources of food poisoning.

Take the remaining mop and serve it in a cruet on the side so your guests can drizzle on more if they wish.

In Texas, the traditional barbecue sauce recipe is usually more like a tomato soup: thin and spicy. It penetrates the meat deeply as it is mopped on during the cooking process or served on the side.

Texas Barbecue Juice Recipe

paprika

American chili powder

cumin powder

butter

onion

garlic

green bell pepper

Lone Star beer ((or any other lager))

apple cider vinegar

Worcestershire sauce

steak sauce

beef stock

Prep. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the bell pepper.

Mix the paprika, black pepper, American chili powder, and cumin in a small bowl.

Cook. In a small saucepan, melt the butter or fat and gently cook the onion over medium heat until translucent.

Add the garlic, bell pepper, and the spice mix. Stir, and cook for two minutes to extract the flavors.

Add the stock and the rest of the ingredients. Stir until well blended. Simmer on medium for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust as needed.

Use. Divide it in half and use half to mop the meat when cooking. Use the remainder to splash on the meat when you serve it.

Try this authentic Kansas City-style BBQ sauce recipe and you&#039;ll never use the bottled stuff again.

Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce Recipe

Morton's kosher salt

yellow ballpark-style mustard

cider vinegar

lemon juice

dark molasses

honey ((see note below))

dark brown sugar

vegetable oil

Prep. In a small bowl, mix the American chili powder, black pepper, and salt. In a large bowl, mix the ketchup, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire, lemon juice, steak sauce, molasses, honey, hot sauce, and brown sugar. Mix them, but you don&#039;t have to mix thoroughly.

Finely chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic cloves.

Cook. Over medium heat, warm the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and sauté until limp and translucent, about 5 minutes. Crush the garlic, add it, and cook for another minute. Add the dry spices and stir for about 2 minutes to extract their oil-soluble flavors. Add the wet ingredients. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes with the lid off to thicken it a bit.

Taste and adjust. Add more of anything that you want a little bit at a time. It may taste a bit vinegary at first, but that will be less obvious when you use it on meat. I recommend you run with my recipe the first time and then you can make it your own. Strain it if you don&#039;t want the chunks of onion and garlic. I like leaving them in, they give the sauce a home-made texture.

Serve. You can use this sauce immediately as you would any other BBQ sauce, but I think it&#039;s better when aged overnight. You can store it into clean bottles in the refrigerator for a month or two.
