This was Created by Lafayette, LA resident, George Graham, for the Sutter Homes Build a Better Burger Contest. It was one of the finalists as a sauce to glaze the Bluesiana burger with zydeco sauce, Mardi Gras slaw and root beer glaze. Or, use like we do, on all beef going on the grill, about 5 minutes before removing from the grill brush with this zinger of a sauce. Wow. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups root beer |
1 cup bottled chili sauce |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
1 tablespoon dark molasses |
1 teaspoon liquid smoke |
1 teaspoon root beer extract |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine the root beer soda, chili sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, molasses, liquid smoke, root beer extract, ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder in a heavy, medium fire-proof saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to about 1 cup and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside (it will thicken slightly as it cools).
4. *If using for burgers, Just before the patties are done, brush with the glaze.
