Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 1 cup Guinness stout, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Step 2: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens to coat the back of a spoon and reduces to about 3/4 cup.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. For chicken or pork, brush generously over meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking, or serve as a dipping sauce at room temperature.
