Rosemary Beer Barbecue Sauce
Barbecue sauce is an iconic element of American cuisine, existing in countless variations, from classic to spicy. The special feature of the rosemary beer version is the slightly bitter, caramelized taste of the beer and the fresh, piney aroma of rosemary. This combination perfectly complements the rich flavors of tomatoes and spices, making it an ideal choice for grilled meats, chicken, or vegetables. The beer not only adds flavor to the sauce, but also helps to thicken it, while the Worcestershire sauce lends a deeper, umami flavor. This sauce is easy to make at home and is guaranteed to spice up summer barbecues or everyday dinners.
