I developed this BBQ Sauce just for Pulled Beef Sandwiches and during the development stage I needed someone to help stir the sauce so it wouldn’t burn. I told my daughter Lulu that if she helped me make the sauce, I’d name it after her. I made this sauce thin so I could soak shredded beef in it but it can reduced at a low heat to a desired thickness. It’s a more tangy than sweet sauce but the balance of sweet, tang and heat from the chipotle adobo sauce, is perfect for pulled beef sandwiches, enjoy!

Lulu’s Barbecue Sauce

2 Clove of Garlic (chopped)
