Best 19 Awesome Sauce Recipes

AWESOME CONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Chef's Note: There are two secrets to the traditional sauce: a minimum of ingredients, and the cut of the ground beef. As one vendor I talked to on Coney Island said to me: If you want to add extra onions, mustard, beans, whatever... Go for it, but the sauce is the sauce, pure and simple (a man of few words). In truth, keeping the ingredients to a minimum makes this an ideal sauce for a variety of things: For example, it's an excellent sauce for a chili/cheese burger.
• 2. Start by finely chopping the onions. Chef's Tip: The easiest way to do this is to use the large holes on a box grater. In addition, when you grate an onion, it will release a lot of moisture from the ruptured cell walls, and I usually pick up some of that excess liquid by laying the grated onion on a few sheets of paper towels.
• 3. Have your other ingredients close at hand.
• 4. Add the cold water (or stock) to a skillet, and then add the grated onions, and the ground beef. Chef's Note: This ground sirloin is not your typical grind... it's called a triple grind by your butcher. What I usually do is take regular grind and put it into my food processer for a couple of spins. The result is a very finely ground beef, and that is one of the secrets of this sauce.
• 5. Chef's Historical Note: According to the historical record, the recipe used ground beef heart, which is then ground to a consistency of fine-ground beef... not ground sirloin.
• 6. Simmer the onion and beef over medium-to-medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, and the onions are soft, about15 minutes.
• 7. Add the remaining ingredients, and slow simmer, uncovered, until it thickens, about 2 to 3 hours. Chef's Tip: I like Maxine's chili powder, but it's hot, so I usually use only 4 tablespoons. Actually, the chili powder will really make this sauce... Chef's Note: If it begins drying out, add a bit of water, or broth.
• 8. Chef's Tip: If you are using beef stock, as opposed to plain water, then you might want to leave out the additional salt.
• 9. Well, that's about it... get yourself a dog or two, and have at it. What are you waiting for...
• 10. One more thing: If you are a purest, and you want the "real" experience, then you need the right hotdog, and that's from the Koegel Meat Company in Flint, Michigan. Keep the faith, and keep cooking...

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME HOTDOG CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Gather your ingredients.
• 3. Add the chorizo and chuck to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
• 4. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 5. Add the chopped onions, and the garlic.
• 6. Cook until the onions soften, about 5 - 7 minutes.
• 7. Remove any grease by straining the meat.
• 8. Return the meat to the saucepan, and then add the beef or chicken stock.
• 9. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 30 minutes.
• 10. Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, dehydrated onions, and the cinnamon, and then allow it to cook, while stirring, for an additional 2 minutes.
• 11. Chef's Tip: The cinnamon really blooms this sauce, but I'm serious when I mean just a pinch... A little goes a long way.
• 12. Chef's Note: The dehydrated onions are optional; however, they add another dimension of flavor to the chili. Je Ne Sais Quoi

• 16. Chef's Tip: Now is the time to add any additional seasoning (salt, pepper, etc.). But be careful with the salt... since this sauce is being reduced, spices like salt will only become more concentrated as time passes. I find that the sauce really doesn't need any salt.

• 6. Place a skillet over medium heat, and then add the bacon.
