Root Beer BBQ Sauce

This recipe calls for Root Beer. And it is delicious made with Root Beer. But you can use just about any soda you want in it and it will still be amazing. The reason is that it is the acid in the soda that helps tenderize the meat. Coca-Cola ribs? Of course! Cheerwine? No problem. Mt. Dew? You bet! Just do not leave out the fish sauce. It adds the perfect touch of salty umami to help balance out that sweetness of any soda.

Notes – We suggest that you DO NOT use Diet Soda. You need the sugar in the soda to achieve the right caramelization and maintain the proper balance and taste.

Ingredients

• 4 cups Root Beer
• 1/2 cup Fish Sauce
• 2 tablespoons minced Garlic
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
• 2 cups Cold Water
• 2 racks Baby Back Ribs

Instructions

• In a medium saucepan, add root beer, fish sauce, garlic, and pepper.
• Place pan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the liquid has been reduced by about 1/2.
• Remove the reduction from the heat. Stir in the water.
• Allow the sauce to rest until it cools to room temperature.

• Place pan in refrigerator to chill overnight - or for at least 4 hours.
• When ready to cook - preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard marinade. It has touched raw meat and is unsafe to use again.
• Place ribs on a baking sheet. Cover the ribs with foil.
• Place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender but not falling off the bone.
• Finish ribs on the grill, by grilling directly over high heat until the outside has caramelized, about 4 minutes on each side.
• OR
• Switch oven to broil. Broil until side has caramelized. Then flip ribs and broil until other side has caramelized.
