Since we started eating paleo, I’ve been looking for a good barbecue sauce recipe. If you look at anything you can buy on the grocery store shelf, you’ll see they’re loaded with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Or both.

I finally found a FABU recipe at the Paleo Table blog. It’s really good and we love it. You don’t miss the sugar at all.

I do modify the recipe by using chicken broth most of the time instead of beef broth mostly because I usually have that handy.

Paleo Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients

1 6 oz can tomato paste

1 to 1-1/2 cups of beef stock (no salt added)

5 cloves garlic

1/2 medium yellow onion

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg.)

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

dash liquid smoke

Preparation

1.  Place onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.

2.  Add all ingredients except beef stock in a medium sauce pan. Stir to combine. Add beef stock until sauce reaches your desired consistency.

3.  Warm mixture over medium heat until it reaches a slow simmer. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.

4.  Store sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

The Paleo Table says that this lasts for quite a while in the fridge but ours never lasts too long. 🙂
