Traditional West Coast Barbecue Sauce Recipe from 1952 | Authentic Flavor

Want to try something different? I have a lot of old cookbooks. This morning I was looking through one to see what I find. Here’s one to try. This one was published in 1952 in a book called West Coast Cook Book. It’s a compilation of recipes passed down from early west coast settlers. Check it and give it a try. Maybe I’ll try it this week and see how it turns out.

Herb Barbecue Sauce

West Coast Cook Book – barbecue sauce recipe passed down from early west coast settlers. This is said to be a very old California recipe. It is not hot, in fact it has not a bit of pepper in it, so have no fear.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced rosemary
  • ¼ cup minced mint leaves
  • ½ cup oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Cook together ½ cup of vinegar, a cup of water, ¼ cup of chopped onion, 3 cloves minced garlic, a tablespoon of minced rosemary, ¼ cup of minced mint leaves, ½ cup of oil or butter, and a teaspoon of salt.
  2. Simmer 10 minutes, strain, and use.

Notes

Pepper steak or whatever you’re grilling just before serving.

If this one doesn’t suit your tastes, then turn to page 219. There, you will find a recipe for Bear Ragout with Red Wine. Finding bear meat at the grocery store requires some imagination. So, substitute it with pork or beef. Let me know how it turns out for you and if you liked it.
