Chilli Barbecue Sauce

A beautifully chargrilled steak needs to be accompanied by a nice sauce.  Normally Noel and I would choose a Creamy Blue Cheese or Creamy Peppercorn sauce, however sometimes our favourite purchased sauce, Byron Bay Coconut Chilli Sauce.  Tonight however I wanted to make something totally different so off on my little mission I went.

Upon flicking pages of a gorgeous little cookbook I was given, Mayonnaise Hollandaise Bernaise - A Cook's Book of Sauces, I came across this Chilli Barbecue Sauce recipe that was not only quick to make but very easy.

Seriously just by adding spices to purchased Barbecue sauce and Sweet Chilli Sauces the outcome was delicious.  A hint of indian, smokiness of the paprika lacing a barbecue sauce with chilli undertones was actually really suited to the chargrilled steak we had for dinner.
