Scott's Smoked Q Tang North Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce

Rich BBQ needs a sauce that brings balance without covering up the flavor of the meat. Scott's Smoked Q Tang delivers vinegar-forward North Carolina-style BBQ flavor with a savory, steakhouse-inspired kick.

Bright, tangy and versatile, this sauce cuts through rich pulled pork, brisket, burgers and steak while adding character to chicken, ribs, beans and roasted vegetables. Use it as a finishing sauce, drizzle, dip or table sauce whenever your food needs a sharp, savory contrast.

Tang brings together two useful flavor approaches: the bright vinegar bite of North Carolina-style BBQ and the savory character of a steakhouse sauce.

That combination makes it particularly useful with rich foods. Add it to pulled pork or brisket when you want a sharper finish, spoon it over a burger or serve it alongside steak for dipping.

Unlike a sauce designed only for glazing meat, Tang also works at the table. Keep it nearby so everyone can add their preferred amount of vinegar-forward flavor.

Finish Pulled Pork and Brisket

Add a splash of Tang to cooked pulled pork or drizzle it over sliced brisket. Its bright vinegar profile provides contrast to the richness of the meat.

Bring Steakhouse Flavor to Burgers and Steak

Use Tang as a finishing sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. It also works as a tangy condiment for burger and steak sandwiches.

Give Beans a Savory Vinegar Kick

Stir Tang into pinto beans or baked beans when you want to add brightness and savory depth.

Finish Vegetables and Potatoes

Drizzle over roasted vegetables or cooked potatoes. Start with a small amount, taste and add more to reach your preferred level of tang.

Keep It on the Table

Serve Tang with chicken, ribs, hot dogs, sandwiches and other cookout favorites so guests can add a vinegar-forward finish to their plates.
