The ultimate grill master Mel Chmilar—better known as Darkside of the Grill—has teamed up with Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. to drop a BBQ sauce that’s set to change the game. This collaboration is a long time in the making, and trust us, it’s worth the wait. Forget the usual smoky and sticky sweet flavors; this sauce is all about bold, dynamic flavors that will elevate your grilled or smoked meats and veggies to new heights.
Inspired by the bold flavors of Hot Pot, this sauce features the numbing heat of Szechuan pepper and the earthy richness of shiitake mushrooms, bringing a deep, savory kick to every bite. The familiar heat of fermented habanero and aged cayenne spices things up, creating a flavor profile that’s as surprising as it is satisfying. Whether slathered on wings or drizzled over smoky beef ribs, this sauce is designed to mix up your BBQ routine and add an entirely new dimension to your cooking.
The ingredients list is as impressive as the flavor. It starts with the sweetness of red bell peppers and onions, balanced by the tang of distilled vinegar. Habaneros bring an intense heat, while Korean pepper paste adds depth with its fermented blend of rice, soy, and hot pepper powder. Aged cayenne and lime juice provide a sharp, zesty contrast, complemented by garlic’s bold aroma. The sauce is rounded out with canola oil for smoothness, shiitake powder for an umami punch, and Szechuan pepper powder for that signature numbing heat.
This sauce isn’t just a condiment; it’s a game-changer for your grill.
