What Dad Really Wants for Father’s Day – Homemade BBQ Sauce
Cheers to fathers who show us the way, protect us, keep us laughing and always have just the right advice. There’s no one else like him, so this Father’s Day celebrate your dad’s unique style by creating a savory barbecue sauce to complement his grilling skills. Our favorite recipe makes a great base that can be adjusted to match your dad’s sweet, spicy or bold taste.
When choosing the right cut of meat to complement the recipe, rest assured no pork or chicken was raised with added hormones. Federal regulations don’t allow it. If you see a package labeled “hormone-free,” it’s simply a marketing tactic, and there’s no need to pay extra for that label. Farmers can use a slow-release hormone for beef and lamb so their animals build muscle more efficiently, which results in leaner meat. It’s thoroughly tested before it reaches grocery store shelves to make sure it’s safe to eat. Now that you know, you can have confidence that whatever meat you choose is safe for you and your family.
Watch this video for step-by-step instructions and then get creative with the final ingredients – like pineapple juice or hot sauce – to win over dad’s tastebuds. He’ll appreciate the extra effort to make a meal that’s just as special as he is.
