I created this recipe for Beef Back Ribs that my husband was grilling. Since he was doing it on the grill, I wanted it to have a smoky flavor, hence the addition of liquid smoke & Smoked Alderwood Sea Salt. I also wanted it to be thick & rich so it would cling to the ribs, & I wanted to also keep the carbs low, but the flavor intense, so I kicked it up a notch or two with the red pepper flakes, coarse black pepper & Mexican hot sauce.

To my surprise he loved it even more than one I had previously created. He said it had more flavor & kick so that left me no choice but to change the name.

How to Make DAN'S FAVORITE SMOKED BBQ SAUCE- SUGAR FREE

Step-by-Step

There is no special order in which to add the ingredients for this sauce. These are some of the spices that I used.
I used Lea & Perrin Worcestershire Sauce, but you can use other brands as well.
Add the butter, tomato paste, sweetener, horseradish, liquid smoke, then whisk to blend flavors together.
Add in the chive, and continue to stir.
Add in the Smoked Alderwood Sea salt & minced dried onions. Whisk briskly to blend together.
Don't forget to add the minced cloves of garlic, that adds a punch of flavor.
Then place over low heat and cook slowly to allow the flavors to blend together. STIR CONTINUOUSLY TO PREVENT SAUCE FROM STICKING. For additional smoked flavor, you might want to add the sauce over your charcoal grill, and allow it to get a more even smoked flavor. Brush over beef, pork, poultry, meat loaf, ham or what ever you choose, it is delicious.
I forgot to give you the nutritional value of this sauce, I used MY FITNESS PAL to calculate the nutritional value
