Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple; skinned, cored, and cut into large chunks
  • 6 cups beef stock
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1, 8 oz. jar of Chinese hot mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Tapatio or other hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 bay leaves

Preparation

On a hot grill or in a hot sauté pan, char the pineapple until dark brown. Set aside and let cool, then dice into large chunks.

In a large saucepan, bring the beef stock to a boil; when it is boiling, whisk in all the remaining ingredients (except for the pineapple).  Bring it back to a boil and add the pineapple chunks; reduce to a simmer and let cook uncovered for 30-45 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the bay leaves, puree the sauce and then force it through a fine strainer to remove any of the pineapple fibers.

This sauce works best with any grilled pork and is also a welcome addition to shrimp or chicken.
