Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/17/2009 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not much into cooking these days. I have to cook dinner tonight, using pre-cooked ground beef that's been sitting in the fridge. I threw two cans of Hunt's Sauce in with it on the stove, and added some oregano, but still needing something. Any suggestions? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 436143Garlic. Garlic powder. Onion. Onion powder. Black pepper. Dash of hot red pepper. EDIT to add: Basil too if you got some. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" -Revelation 6:5, 6:6 |
Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/17/2009 08:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, and one more thing. Better to not add your oregano or basil til near the end. It can scorch, or the flavor will just get lost at the very least. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse!

Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/17/2009 08:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks, I put all of that in, but had to use powder garlic and onion. I've got plenty of time to let it simmer. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 436143Powder is okay. I use both usually. Well, espcially with the garlic. I ususally use a lot of fresh white onion so don't really need the onion powder too. And garlic bread? I always use the powder, even though everyone else has gone all trendy using fresh crushed. Powder is so much better for the garlic bread. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse!

Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/19/2009 11:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's rare that I can find a place to cook these days, but here are some pics of the last time I made a batch. No stove, so I used my plug-in electric burner. This first pic you can see that it's filled right to the edge. This is right after it got started. You can see the big hunks of elephant garlic floating in there. :saucetwo: In this pic you can see the two veal chops that I have pan fried and have waiting on the side. I had to wait for the sauce to boil down some to make room to insert the extra meat. :sauceone: In these two pics you can see the finished product after about six hours. I wish the colors were a bit better, but you can still get some sense of the change. The finished stuff has a nice rich redness and "shine" to it. The meat on the plate is the veal I pulled out after it simmered in the sauce to the point of literally just falling apart. :saucefour: :saucethree: When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!"

Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/20/2009 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just while I'm thinking of it, here's another trick with the onion. Fry up one with olive oil and sugar before tossing it in. Nicely browned and carmelized. Dont bother to throw it in until toward the end though. For the "main" onions you want them to be in bigger pieces and only fry them a little so they can simmer longer in the tomat. You'll want those in there right from the start as you get it all boiling. Gives you a whole nice gradual slide of onion goodness in the flavor. Also, I put a lid on at first to get it boiling, but then I take the lid off or at least let it vent the steam after a while so it boils down a little faster. Also, a dash of salt over the ground beef might help it tenderize a little better. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!"

Anonymous Coward User ID: 532556 United States 02/20/2009 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gotta disagree with you on the Tuttorosso. I think they are horrible. For cheaper tomatoes, i like Sclafani brand. If you are going to splurge, which i know you currently can't really do jack, I like LaValle San Marzano tomatoes, or most brands that are from San Marzano. Hope you enjoyed the sauce. |

Now in the first shots there is no grease at all. That's just all the different juices swirling around. But in the end, that nice sheen slick sheen across the surface is indeed some nice tasty FAT from the beef. Please, give us your fatless recipe for gravy.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 532556The Sclafani are like twice as much around here! Dang. The Tuttorosso aren't the greatest, but I have found that the store brands have really fallen off in their quality, where I used to actually prefer them over some of the name brands. Thanks for sharing your input anyhow. San Marzano is certainly of good reputation. (And I ALWAYS enjoy the gravy!) When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!"

Jackinthebox (OP) User ID: 602033 United States 02/20/2009 09:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I make a very similar meat sauce. I sautee a bell pepper with the onion. I use whole tomatoes but add one can of Rotel. I also add chili powder and worchestershire sauce. I blend the ground meat with ground pork. I can eat on it for days. Makes me hungry thinking about it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 532897Your making chili, not gravy. Lol. Bet it tastes good nonetheless. I don't mix meats of the same cut. So if I go with ground pork, I'll shift the beef into stew chunks. Usually though, If I use pork I just get a pack of nice fatty trimmings for 99-cents a pound. Could always go with more expensive cuts of course. But even there, the only pork I usually wind up adding is sausage. Stop & Shop has a good store brand sausige. One time I tried the meatlof/meatball mix of ground pork, beef, and veal. Some people swear by it. I wasn't impressed though of how it came out in a gravy. A good batch of sauce is indeed soemthing it's hard to get tired of, and can eat on for days. Back when I still had a place, I kept it right on the stove top. Didn't even bother to refrigerate until the next night, unless it was summertime. Wake up in the middle of the night with the smell of it still heavy in the air and go fix a little midnight scooby snack. At one point I kept a pot of it going for almost two weeks. Just added the old stuff to a newer batch every other night or so. Now THAT was some good gravy by the end of the week. It doesn't get more authentic than that.
