This recipe is from Chef Steven Raichlen (famous for "The BBQ Bible" and was featured on his TV show, "Primal Grill" as well as printed in "Bon Appétit Magazine" (May 2008). This recipe is good immediately, but better the next day. Can be made up to 1 week ahead. It works with meats, fish, and in sandwiches. (It's great in tuna melts!) If you'd like a little sweetness, add a couple of teaspoons of sugar in the second step.
