This BBQ sauce is delicious, and it’s definitely worth the time to make it.  It’s great on chicken and beef.  This recipe is adapted from Stephan Pyles’ BBQ sauce.

• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 1 jalapeno, minced with seeds

• 1/2 c. strong black coffee
• 2 TBSP. chili powder
• 2 c. ketchup
• 2 TBSP. Dijon mustard

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan.  Saute the onion, jalapenos, and garlic until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
2. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.  Strain the sauce through a medium strainer; pour over the sliced brisket.
