This Texas Heat vinegar based bbq sauce with just a little sugar, packs a punch. Loaded with flavor and a big bite, this sauce is the perfect choice to go with beef brisket and pretty darn good on steaks.
If your tolerance to hot sauces is low, just cut back on the hot pepper flakes. Try this sauce with burgers, pork and chicken, as a dipping sauce at the table or anytime you are in the mood for something with heat but not too sweet.
