Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 0.5 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
Whisk in the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the mop to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the mop sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Use a basting brush or a mop brush to generously apply the mop sauce to your brisket every 30-60 minutes during the smoking or slow-cooking process.
Store any leftover mop sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat before using again on your next barbecue adventure.
