spring hill ranch central texas barbecue sauce
(1 rating)
If you spend much time in Texas, you will no doubt note that there is a great BBQ shack every quarter mile or so along the wonderful intra-state Texas highways. Of the many sauces around the state, this one is from the Hill Country of central Texas where beef and lamb are kings of the slow-smoking barbecue pit. Influenced by the hearty German pioneers of the area, this is a sweet, very savory tomato-based sauce. It adds a wonderful complexity to barbecued beef brisket and beef ribs and even lamb shanks. The sauce keeps well covered and refrigerated for at least a week.
