Big Daddy's Carolina Style Marinade and Mopping Sauce When grilling it is best to avoid basting the meat with anything containing sugar or tomato. Experienced grillers will use a separate sauce, called a mopping sauce, to baste the meat during cooking. It seasons the meat while keeping it from drying. A finishing sauce (home made, such as Big Daddy's Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce, or store bought) is then added a few minutes before removing the meat from the fire, usually just long enough to allow the finishing sauce to bake on.
Mix all ingredients well. Marinade meat in sauce at least 2 hours (overnight in the fridge is best) turning occasionally. Baste very frequently while meat is cooking (see note). Adjust volume so the sauce covers at least 1/2 of the meat while marinating. Note: If you use this as a marinade ensure that it is brought to a boil on the stove before using it to baste the meat. This kills any bacteria that may have been introduced by the raw meat. |
