This Texas BBQ Restaurant's Sauce Is The Best I've Ever Had | Recipe

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Will you give this sauce a try?

[@allieandbo]

Anyone with half a brain. Recipe looks like everything I love in a sauce. Huge shoutout to Bar-A for sharing this. You don't see that often. Thanks Coop!

[@brisketwizard8004]

Looks really good. Will definitely give it a go. Looking forward to your putting it to use video (and all your videos !!) I also like L&L's beet BBQ sauce. I scaled it down from one of their videos. Goes particularly good with Beef Cheeks.

[@jeffr1465]

I absolutely will! I'm glad I found your channel. Subbed and will be going through your older videos as well as watching for new content. Thanks for all you do to educate us back yard folks!

[@horacejones5226]

Can you buy it already bottled?

[@WilsonsBBQ]

@@horacejones5226 nope. Just their house made sauce they use. They may or may not even still use it! Not sure

[@Mainevent41]

Here it is converted back to imperial in small batch form. I'll admit, it's not exact, but it's close and I've made it using this and it's the best BBQ sauce I have ever had if you like vinegar based sauces: 1 cup ketchup 1 cup honey 3/4 cup mustard 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup of water 1/4 cup of worcestershire 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tsp pepper 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp red pepper flake 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp cumin

[@melissastockton1525]

Thank u

[@matthewlawton9241]

My instinct is that a mix of malt and apple cider vinegar might be the way to go here.

[@raufus3006]

Dude! You are my freaking hero! I was like, WTH is a granule?

[@willibeaman7142]

Hero

[@tpack670]

I just made this BBQ Sauce. I did cut the honey in half. Tasted plenty sweet to what I`m used to. Looking forward to using this on my pulled pork. Really like the color. Thanks again.

[@sammiemarkham3033]

Just made a batch of this - FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for sharing! Similar to Salt Lick, but I thought it was a bit more like the sauce at City Meat Market in Giddings. I'll be using it on some ribs tonight for Sunday dinner - thanks!!

[@jasonhiggins7793]

I just made this sauce today, and it's the best Texas bbq sauce I've ever tried. I live in Texas and can't find a recipe as good as yours. Thank you very much!

[@kevinhullinger8743]

This is a solid recipe! Best BBQ sauce I have ever had hands down! Last a long time in the fridge had mine in fridge for a month and it’s perfectly fine!

[@user-sb4pl6yu1n]

Great recipe mate! tried it myself. Super easy and delicious! i just know this will compliment any meat! Thanks for sharing!

[@Names_Ethan]

I've made this bbq sauce at least 20 times by now. It's an amazing sauce

[@randyshort4629]

@Names_Ethan I noticed you increased the mustard and reduced the water and Garlic. Was this unintentional, or have you tweaked it to your tastes?

[@bierbrauer11]

I made this sauce and a wave of nostalgia washed over me - childhood memories of long visits with extended family in TX with hill country BBQ and Big Red soda.Thank You!

[@brightonbackyardbbq]

Dave, many thanks for sharing this fantastic sauce. Thanks also to Coop @bar a bbq for the permission, top man👍🏼 Hope to catch up in person in September 😜

[@brandonknighton2510]

I found it hilarious when I watched an old video about Bar a bbq and they were giving there recipe for sauce. I was shocked and filled with a bit of pride to find out my own sauce is very close to theres. It made me feel like I am definitely on the right track if ours are that similar. I love the open sharing and willingness to teach others what we have tried and learned.

[@seymourbutts3615]

The good ones share. As big and famous as Emeril Lagasse got, he always provided you recipes to his seasoning blends if you decided to make them yourself.

[@billmoran935]

Yes

[@shaunbourne9107]

Thanks to you both for sharing, I will be making this when I get back onto the MB1050 after the house move. Walking off drinking the sauce - class!

[@MM-dr5dd]

This is similar to one that I had at H-E-B called "Texas Tang". Really good on brisket sandwiches, too.

[@PoeLemic]

Wow, thank you for sharing with us. I will try this, because store-bought are getting too expensive and are often sold-out.

[@nickjparker1979]

Yes! Great recipe by the looks of it, and great vid!

[@generalfeed123]

from tx here and have to say this sauce is the amazing

[@robtriton]

Austin isn't part of Texas. It is California.

[@blackwatt]

Nice one Dave, i have friends who live in Montgomery who know these lads very well and say they are lovely people and there bbq is on point. We are looking at going to see our friends soon and will definitely go see Bar a bbq and their food.

[@chrishahn267]

Never made BBQ sauce before but this one looks really good so I'm excited to try it. I was worrying about converting from grams back into imperial but after a re-watch I noticed you were using the force to measure - so I'm less worried now.

[@KristianH1986]

whats great about this is that absolutley everything i can just grab in tesco. thanks for this!!!

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Yeah absolutely! Most of the stuff I used was picked up during my weeks shop

[@cdjlsj]

Ate at Bar A BBQ a couple of weeks ago. It was delicious and the sauce was great. Your batch looked exactly like the sauce I ate at the restaurant.

[@edisonjohnson8638]

So I enjoyed learning about you watching Chud’s channel and then getting inspired watching your peach cobbler recipe vid. Now this. I like your precision of using grams in your recipes. Making both this weekend. Carry on!

[@peterdesmidt8742]

I just gave it a try. It's excellent!

[@JK_Vermont]

We have a honey allergy in the family and we live in Vermont, so naturally I subbed maple syrup for the honey. Really tasty sauce! Thanks for sharing.

[@mcfalcia]

100% agree there's is the best BBQ I've had in Texas and will definitely try the recipe. Or I could drive the 15 miles and get it in person. Sorry mates...off to Bar-A!

[@wayneromanowicz8525]

That looks very similar to Pride of Deercamp BBq sauce from ingredients to color except for the cummin. All I know is that it's great on pork, been making up batches for years, have 3 in the frig now. The other exception is my recipe called for it to cooked and then rested to a cool. Found the recipe with a bit a history in one of Geoff Smith's recipe books. He had a PBS cooking show back in the 80's into the 90's called the Frugal Gourmet. Yes, it is a great sauce, thanks for spreading the love.

[@richardhineman]

Thank you i smoked a pork butt and made this sauce. Got many picky eaters and everyone was loving the taste. Had two other store bought sauces and this was the one that everyone wanted.

[@CoolJay77]

This seems delicious and unique in style. I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing.

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Thank’s a lot for watching!

[@savagefrieze4675]

As a baker I really appreciate using grams and %. Best way to cook for repeatable recipes. I’ll definitely give this recipe a try.

[@calbeer3607]

Made it! Was fantastic! I put 12 bone in chicken thighs on the Weber bbq. Set offset then stacked on top of each other and slowly mopped the sauce. It was a super successful cook.

[@michaelcribb7205]

Definitely trying this i usually make a homemade Carolina gold BBQ sauce or a bourbon bbq asdong this to a must try on some ribs, chicken , heck maybe some burnt ends too

[@techvape2671]

Thanks for the recipe, cant wait to make it. Should I use the ingredients from the video or the description because they are different?

[@timbuchholtz3904]

100% going to have to make this for my next cook!

[@timbuchholtz3904]

I made a batch of this last night it was fantastic! A little sweat with a sharp vinegar punch that will cut through a fatty pulled pork fantastically! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@thealtrusticguy]

Thank you for sharing the recipe💯

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Let me know if you give it a go!

[@mortenjensen2457]

This sauce is outstanding. Thank you!

I made this sauce yesterday, I was impressed. Very tasty, I’m sure today it will be better. Thanks for sharing.

[@2005Pilot]

May have to go to Bar A BBQ in July! Going to try this on my Ribs soon! Thanks !!

[@Faze-2]

Went to Bar-A last week. Got the pork ribs and brisket. Some of the best I’ve ever had

[@stevecoddington2309]

Looks tasty! Reminds me of the L&L mustard sauce.

[@jamesdunn9158]

Just made this sauce. Thanks for the recipe and video, love your channel. The sauce is everything you describe, love it. Reminds me of Salt Lick Original sauce. One suggestion for others making this is to start with half the honey, then add more to taste. Looking forward to trying it on some pork. Cheers

[@WilsonsBBQ]

That’s awesome thank you so much! That’s a good shout. And I may add that suggestion to the recipe in the description.

[@tpack670]

I just made this BBQ Sauce. I did like you and cut the honey in half. Tasted plenty sweet to what I`m used to. Looking forward to using this on my pulled pork.

[@frankarmitage776]

Chipotle pepper adobo sauce makes this that much better. few table spoon

[@ExTrumpet]

Sounds good! I was gonna suggest some cayenne pepper!

[@robertpretorius6422]

I’ve tasted this sauce, made by Dave at one of his classes. Gob Smackingly good. Better than any sauce i have ever bought. Going to make some and pour it on all the food I don’t like.

[@rogerleathers1388]

Just made a batch. Good stuff.....thanks for sharing!

As a central Texan, I appreciate your observations and the specificity of how you look at the craft! If you swing through San Antonio (hour from Austin), check out 2M!

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Appreciate it! I’ll be heading to 2M (stopping in at burnt bean on the way) in April!

[@brintohearn2486]

@@WilsonsBBQ you probably already know, with 2M, barbacoa get all the deserts 👀

[@Derek2001]

Made it last night. I can confirm that it's really good. Has a nice balance of sweet, acidity, heat, tang, etc. It reminds me of a BBQ sauce recipe in a Marlboro cook book I received years ago but a little lighter in color. Will definitely keep this recipe around.

[@donaldhenderson5041]

You could add a little tomato paste to darken the colour if you like. It already has ketchup in it anyway. (Or cook the tomato paste for a couple of minutes to get and even richer flavour and colour. Cheers.

[@richard_lindsay]

Looks great, will def give it a try. Have you made Jirby's Jauce? Absolutely delicious!

[@gmanGman12007]

Best recipe description ever!

[@tpack670]

Going to make me some today. Thanks for the recipe.

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Nice! Let me know what you think!

[@armyguy209]

Tried this sauce. Perfect sauce and exactly what I've been looking for in a mustard based sauce. Balance of mustard, vinegar, sweet and savory. I didn't think I'd like it because I don't like sweet sauces and the amount of honey and sugar in it, I figured way too sweet. That's not the case. So for those looking to make it, here's my suggestions. -Dont cook it. I feel it changes the flavor and definitely changes the texture to a thicker consistency. -Use a 16 mesh black pepper. It distributes better than coarser ground black pepper. -if you have a spice grinder which I'm sure most of you do if you are watching bbq videos, pulse the red pepper flakes through a spice grinder to break down the big flakes a little. You don't want to powder it, just make them a little smaller so it distributes the heat and flavor better throughout the sauce. Thank you Wilsons for sharing this and thank you to Bar A bbq for sharing your recipe. This will be my go to mustard/Texas style sauce going forward.

[@armyguy209]

Just to add, I've tried a TON of mustard based bbq sauces, including rhe L&L sauce, and none of them hit what I was looking for. This reminds me of a cross between a Texas bbq sauce and a Carolina bbq sauce would be the best way to describe it.

[@simonar11]

Just made it and it’s awesome!!

[@whonose7114]

Just made some now, had most of the ingredients in already (subbed the honey for some hot honey I had), and it's damn good! How long will it last for in the fridge?

[@325ctd]

I’m going to try it for sure!

[@mkirkland616]

Crazy, I went to high school in Montgomery TX

[@CaboricanMan]

I think I will try this. Look great!! Has anyone tried swapping the mustard and ketchup amounts? Wondering how much it would change(I'm a bigger fan of mustard than ketchup)

[@butopiatoo]

NICE SCORE! Don't get over to East Texas much but his Q looks delish! Thanks for sharing the sauce recipe will try it maybe with some substitutions.

[@russellbray9250]

Maybe this is a dumb question but can you explain exactly what your scale up percentages mean for a larger batch?

[@jamieclark6695]

Made a small batch of this last night. Tastes good! Will have it with some wings tonight! Would you also put some on as a pre-marinade before cooking? Thanks!

[@WilsonsBBQ]

That’s awesome thank’s for watching. Personally, I wouldn’t. It’s got a lot of honey in it as well as brown sugar - it will burn easily and if it does, will be extremely bitter. I’d rather not take the risk and just apply after!

[@hp6169]

Making it as we speak! Thanks gents!

[@heathbecker420]

I make my own BBQ using these same spices (minus the cumin though I will try that next time) and in different ratios. Also I use tomato paste instead of ketchup and use either the juices from the meat I am cooking or stock that I boil down. If I use the meat juices the sauce has to be warmed up to use it, as it will solidify due to the gelatin for that reason I usually use a stock and reduce it down. I love a good carolina gold sauce and this one looks to have a strong mustard content (stronger than what I make) so might use this as a starting point to make my own golden bbq sauce.

[@Benny_Shoga]

What food scale is that? Looks cool.

[@simmer-ringJ]

I translated the recipe to volume...cups TBSP tsp... it's terrific!

[@MrTexashugo]

Can you share?

[@ziplinerunner]

Used it on pork ribs. Nice change of pace from the traditional ketchup based sauces (even though there is ketchup in it). Thanks for sharing!

Agreed!

[@steelcurtin7362]

How long will it last if stored in a refrigerator?

[@sicboy83]

Prolly a decent amount of time since e erythropoietin g seems to be non refrigerated ingredients or things like ketchup and mustard which stay in the fridge for a good amount of time

[@JoshKerr1337]

I’m going to have to make this and see how it compares to the L&L mustard sauce.

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Man I love that L&L sauce. This is definitely not as mustard-y. But it’s a great all-rounder.

[@frank_osuna]

[@DonkeyPuncher1976]

When you say that ‘this will go in your fridge for 10 days or more’ is that how long it lasts?

[@WilsonsBBQ]

It probably lasts longer from a food safe standpoint - but I find it tends to start smelling ultra vinegary at about 10 days. Which is why I make smaller batches for home.

[@shehzad555]

How long would this last in the fridge?

[@martinberry9616]

The best bbq sauce ever for me was the type that wrapped packet ribs from brake bros in the 80s The tang was incomparable and no smokiness Probably from e numbers or maybe my not jaded palate made it really pop Wish I could recreate it clean

Reminds me of the Salt Lick's BBQ Sauce. Looks good!!!

[@WilsonsBBQ]

Oh yes!

[@morgangentle1515]

Sometimes if you use bbq sauce on the meat during the cooking process it ruins the left overs , once that flavour is on them it’s hard to use the leftovers for another meal with the left overs , best to keep it neutral and dip

[@SirMouselot]

You freeze leftover sauce I will try this thanks

[@DoctorSess]

I live down the street. Never tried it lol. We usually smoke our own meats that’s why… I will have to stop by there this week and grab a platter.

[@brannonjones3668]

I absolutely can not do mustard, at least in the yellow squeeze kind. Would anyone have a substitute, or would the omission of it get me close enough? I use olive oil as a binder and I’m ok with all vinegars. Maybe ground mustard seed?

[@brannonjones3668]

Ok, so, I made this without the mustard. It is exactly what I was looking for in a sauce. My unexplainable Mustard fear is real and this works without it very well to be honest.
