Directions

Combine in a saucepan

Add the brewed coffee, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, garlic, molasses, mustard powder, Worcestershire, cumin, and chili powder to a medium saucepan.

Dissolve the sugar

Set over medium heat and stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the sauce is steaming with small bubbles around the edges.

Simmer until thick

Reduce to low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring now and then. Stir more often near the end so the bottom doesn’t scorch.

Check consistency and rest

When it coats the back of a spoon, remove from the heat. Let it sit for 10 minutes; it will thicken slightly as it cools.

Use or store

Brush on meat, chicken, or vegetables as a sauce or glaze. Store leftovers in a clean jar in the fridge and stir before using.

This black coffee barbecue sauce recipe gets its depth from brewed coffee, balanced with ketchup and brown sugar. You’ll simmer everything in one pot for about 20 minutes until thick, then use it as a glaze or dipping sauce for meat, chicken, or veggies. In the how-to steps, keep the heat low and stir so it doesn’t scorch.
