Barbeque Sauce

Steak only requires two things. Salt...and Ground Grains of Paradise. If you don't have Grains of Paradise...just use fresh ground pepper.
Almost any cheap BBQ sauce spiced up with garlic, tabasco & French's mustard with plenty of sea salt...work with it until it explodes in your mouth.
I'm gonna have to try some of that Grains of Paradise stuff, I've never even heard of it....I will add that when using pepper, a proper steak also requires beer splashes when cooked over an open fire, the way it SHOULD be cooked

Stubb's was good when it first came out, but several years ago they went to a cheaper recipe with high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and lower quality ingredients, and it isn't something I'd put on food anymore. The very tastiest and best-quality BBQ sauces I have tried in a long time are "Ooga Booga" and "Ghetto Gourmet". Both are local-only unfortunately for most of you guys, but both are simply awesome. Tangy, sweet, spicy, rich. Ooga Booga doesn't have a website, but their phone is 503-890-9824. Ghetto Gourmet is at Link Removed
stubbs all the way! i bought a giant costco thing of bbq sauce out of frugality, and its not half bad, but stubbs is my favorite.

Grains of Paradise can be used as a substitute for Black Pepper...If you are going to use both...definitely go half and half.
If you can't find it...(I found mine in Seattle at Pike's Place)...look for Alligator Pepper; as it is also known as.
Side note: I was surprised to see Grains of Paradise mentioned in a Sam Adams beer commercial.
Yup, GOP is used in several spiced beers. I use it in a Delerium Tremens clone I brew.
It's kinda like black pepper with citrusy overtones. Nice stuff.
My wife and I started making our own BBQ based off the recipe they use at Gates in Kansas City. It's more on the sweet side when you follow the basic recipe, but we fire it up now and then.
I have found the BBQ form Ring of Fire to be good, also Mad Dog.

There is a local place in Des Moines called Flying Mango that has their own sauce that is absolutely amazing.
Anyone here ever tried Smokey bbq sauce, it is amazing. Best on things like chicken nuggets, crummed steak etc.
when we were growing up as kids my mom used open pit on chicken and Ken Davis on ribs. Now that I buy my own I use sweet baby rays.
I have had Stubb's, and I've had Sweet Baby Ray's. I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's.
Whenever I get the chance, I'll order my friend's BBQ sauce in Arkansas...I just keep forgetting.
