The best barbecue sauces for meat and vegetables

Barbecue sauce is as important in grilling as well-heated coals or a quality marinade. However, there are many types of sauces, and not every sauce suits every kind of meat and vegetable. So how do you best combine sauces and grilled ingredients into a perfect delicacy? You can get inspiration, for example, from us, but the most important thing is always to choose according to exactly what you will place on the hot grill grate.

BBQ & Beef

For example, the famous BBQ sauce is a universal option that won’t offend any type of meat, but it pairs best with beef. If you’re grilling ribs, making good beef burgers or steaks, BBQ will be the perfect complement that your guests will love. BBQ also goes well with pork or chicken, although in this case, it’s ideal to add BBQ more to fried meat in batter. Still, the grill can easily handle that too.

Fresh Sauces & Chicken

Chicken, compared to beef, is a drier meat and therefore deserves fresher sauces. You can combine it, for example, with sauces based on honey-mustard or sauces that have a yogurt or mayonnaise base. Just add a bit of lemon juice, quality Kampot pepper, and other fresh ingredients, and you have a ready dip that perfectly complements the flavor of light meat.

Sweet Grilling Sauces & Vegetables

If you prefer vegetables, choose rather sweeter sauces, which also go well with skewers. Ideal are plum or cranberry sauces, to which you can add a pinch of chili and red Kampot pepper for a perfectly spicy character.

Vegetables like potatoes or celery will never be spoiled if you prepare a classic cheese dip from cheddar or another easily meltable cheese to go with them.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with sauces and try combining various types with different kinds of meat. Everyone has slightly different taste preferences, so the best solution is always to prepare several sauces so everyone can find something they like.
