This is my husband's recipe and he finally gave it to me to share with all of you! It is so yummy I swear I could drink it right out of the container! This sauce goes well with pork, steak and chicken! It takes some time to reduce it but it is so worth it. I hope you will give it a try as you will not be disappointed.

    sea salt and freshly ground gourmet peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp
    smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp
    dark chili powder
  • 2 tsp
    dry mustard
  • 4 Tbsp
    brown sugar
  • 1 c
    ketchup
  • 6
    chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced
  • 1 c
    low sodium spicy v8 juice! (so much better than the tomato juice he used in original recipe)

How To Make blackbear's grillin sauce

  • 1
    The above ingredients will be enough for 10-14 pounds of chosen meat. However you can grill smaller batches of meat and put the remaining sauce in the frige.
  • 2
    Marinate pork and chicken in beer over night. Steaks marinate in worcestershire sauce with some onion and garlic powder for 4-8 hours. This part of the recipe has nothing to do with the ingredients I have posted. Use enough marinade to cover meat completely or flip half way for uniform absorption. For the steaks - prior to grilling I coated them with a blackened seasoning but this is optional).
  • 3
    To make the sauce: (This is where the ingredient list comes into play). Heat the oil in a 2 quart saucepan on medium heat. Add the green peppers, garlic and onions; cook until tender. Next combine salt, pepper, chipotle peppers, dry mustard, brown sugar, chili powder and ketchup in a medium size bowl. Add beer, tomato juice, worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Blend well. Pour mixture into saucepan with onions, peppers and garlic. Simmer until sauce has reduced to 1 quart. Stir to keep from burning. Chill and refrigerate. Use and enjoy the next day and there after.

    Note: This sauce can be a little spicy so if you don't like "hot" then either reduce or eliminate the peppers. You will still have a great tasting sauce without the heat.
