Red Rage BBQ Sauce
My usual "go to" BBQ sauce recipe is one I first learned about on Bobby Flay's Throwdown.....it was from a restaurant in the Carolina's that no longer is open called Wood Chick. Here is how I make that sauce. I was leafing through some old clipped recipes (actually I really wasn't leafing through clipped recipes at all, I was looking at google photos of recipes I took pictures of) and I forgot that I had found a recipe I had coveted for years....Alex Young's Red Rage BBQ sauce at Zingerman's Roadhouse. Alex is no longer at the Roadhouse, he ended up opening a French restaurant called the Standard Bistro and Larder, and so I wondered if Zingerman's still uses that sauce.....it appears they do, they just call it "Red Rage" now.
I'm going to try my hand at making a version of this for dinner tonight. Since I am in the UP, exotic ingredients like Urfa pepper and Muscovado sugar are off the list. Here is how I will adapt:
Mother's Kitchen Red Rage BBQ Sauce
1 1/2 c ketchup
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c finely diced onion
1/4 c beer
1 T honey
1 T molasses
1 1/2 t minced fresh garlic
3/4 t pepper
1 1/2 t red pepper flakes
1/4 t kosher salt
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
