A thin, peppery, tomato-light sauce in the Central Texas tradition. No sweetness — just meat drippings, vinegar, and heat. Served on the side, never slathered.

Ingredients

  • Beef Drippings or Butter
  • Ketchup
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Coarse Black Pepper
  • Kosher Salt
  • Cayenne
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Hot Sauce

Steps

  1. 1
    Melt drippings/butter in a saucepan.
  2. 2
    Add ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire.
  3. 3
    Stir in spices and simmer 15-20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Keep thin — this is not a glaze. Serve on the side in a squeeze bottle.
