This is real cowboy cookin’ here. The way the big dogs hunt. No ketchup is involved. Pure scratch. The biggest problem I’ve had with this is keeping people out of the kitchen dipping bread in it so I would still have enough to do my barbecue. I wish I could remember the name of the ranch where I got this so I could give them credit but I can’t to save my life. I just remember it was one of the best barbecue I ever had and the sauce was the difference.
3 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce
1 small bottle of Worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp. garlic powder
½ lb. butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 tbls. vinegar
2 tbls. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. seasoned "hot" salt
½ tsp. seasoned pepper
½ bottle Figero's Mesquite Smoke Marinade or Liquid Smoke of your choice
Simmer all ingredients for 30 minutes. This really works best when you use it after the meat is done, then bake it on. When you pull your ribs out of the Smokin' Tex have your oven preheated to 200 degrees F and brush the sauce on the ribs both sides and re-brush every 10 - 15 minutes for about one hour or longer. The longer you do this, the better it is. It depends on how much more beer you want to drink before you eat it.
