Mustard BBQ Sauce (Made in 5 Minutes!)

This Mustard BBQ Sauce might just be the easiest BBQ sauce you can make at home. Made with mustard, honey, and vinegar, it’s both tart and sweet.

Have you ever made homemade barbecue sauce? After realizing how easy it is, Alex and I don’t do anything anymore! After making a commitment 10 years ago to cooking as much as possible and making as many things from scratch as possible… somehow we still do! Somehow, homemade sauces taste infinitely better than the best store-bought sauces: and this Mustard BBQ Sauce is no exception! It’s tangy, it’s a little sweet and seriously salty. Read on for the recipe.

Try all the homemade sauces! Think classic barbecue sauce, sugar-free barbecue sauce, and white barbecue sauce.

What is Mustard BBQ Sauce?

First things first: what is mustard barbecue sauce? Mustard barbecue sauce is very different from the standard tomato-based barbecue sauce that most people think of. Our Homemade BBQ Sauce is a classic barbecue sauce made with ketchup and a bouquet of spices.

Mustard barbecue sauce is made with mustard, vinegar, honey, and spices. It is also called Carolina-style barbecue sauce, which originated in South Carolina. This type of sauce is often served as a side dish and is traditionally served with grilled pork. However, Alex and I are mostly plant-based and find it to be equally delicious in vegetarian and vegan recipes!

How to Make Mustard BBQ Sauce

This mustard-based barbecue sauce is literally as easy as mixing a few ingredients in a bowl. When we first made it, I was a little suspicious: how can it be as good as our best tomato-based barbecue sauce? But at first taste I was convinced. It’s so tangy and just sweet enough. Here are the ingredients you will need:

• yellow mustard
• Honey
• The vinegar
• tomato paste
• soy pasture
• Hot sauce

Just mix in a bowl and you’re done! Just 5 minutes for a delicious homemade barbecue sauce from scratch. This sauce will keep in the fridge for about 1 month.

How do you serve it?

You can use this mustard bbq sauce the same way you would use a tomato bbq sauce! Here are some ways we recommend:

• Best Veggie Burger Recipe: Our best veggie burger is grilled and topped with barbecue sauce: it would be a perfect option for this type of sauce.
• Grilled Shrimp: Imagine this sauce on grilled shrimp: the sweet and tangy vibe would go so well!
• Jackfruit BBQ Sandwich: This vegan pulled pork is extremely delicious – you can also try it with this mustard BBQ sauce.
• Grilled Salmon or Baked Salmon: Use the method used to grill or bake the salmon, but use the mustard barbecue sauce instead.
• Grilled Teriyaki Mango Skewers These skewers are painted with teriyaki sauce, but they would look fabulous with that BBQ sauce too!
• BBQ Soy Curls: Soy Curls are the ultimate whole-food plant protein! They have a texture that’s a bit like chicken and they’re so addicting. You must try them.
• Grilled cauliflower on the grill Because grilled cauliflower goes perfectly with a very good barbecue sauce.
