All-Purpose Marinara Sauce image

I use this recipe for marinara sauce as a base for all my pasta dishes. You can use the sauce 'as is' for a meatless spaghetti sauce. Or you can add just about any meat or seafood to add variety to your meals. In addition, you can add kidney beans and your favorite ingredients to make a super chili. My kids eat this pasta sauce like no other. They are happy campers when the house is filled with the aroma as this sauce is cooking.

ALL PURPOSE MARINADE/MOP/DIPPING SAUCE



All Purpose Marinade/Mop/Dipping Sauce image

This is a Chef Paul recipe. Very versatile! The marinade is great for brisket. Just reserve some, add some beer and you've got a good mop. Reserve some more, add a few ingredients and you've got a good dipping or BBQ sauce. Cooking time does not include the marinating time or the time to cook the brisket. This is primarily a recipe for the marinade.

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 -10 lbs beef brisket
1 1/2 cups beef stock, not bullion
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cumin powder
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup Bourbon
1 cup reserved marinade
6 ounces beer
balance reserved marinade
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup catsup
1 teaspoon mustard powder
5 garlic cloves (roasted)

Steps:

  • Mix everything except bourbon in a saucepan, bring to a boil, simmer afor a minute or two.
  • Cool and add the bourbon.
  • This should be enough to marinade a brisket in it's cryovac packaging. Snip off a corner of the cryovac just large enough to insert the tip of a funnel. Drain out any blood, and carefully pour the marinade inches Reseal the packaging (I use duct tape), place in a pan (just in case), and refridgerate one or two days.
  • Drain and reserve the marinade.
  • Put the brisket in the smoker. For instructions on how to smoke a brisket, see my Real Texas Brisket recipe#152445.
  • For the mop: Measure 1 cup of reserved marinade and set aside. Put the rest of the marinade in a large saucepan and boil for about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, Strain, if using a spray bottle, and add in the beer. If you strain out the solids, you can add them back to the marinade reserved for the sauce, for a little extra zip.
  • Mop every half an hour, up to every hour, as your pit requires.
  • For the sauce: Put the ingredients in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until thick. I roasted the garlic and onion in my pit while smoking the beef, added it to the sauce later, and then simmered it for another half an hour or so. Pour the sauce into the blender and process until smooth. If it's too thick, add some of the mop. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Experiment with different flavors: Don't be afraid to try new and unusual combinations of herbs, spices, and other ingredients to create your own unique marinade or dipping sauce.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs and spices will give your marinade or dipping sauce the best flavor. If you can, use them right before you're ready to use the sauce.
  • Let the marinade do its work: The longer you marinate your meat, the more flavorful it will be. However, be careful not to over-marinate, as this can make the meat tough.
  • Use a variety of dipping sauces: Having a variety of dipping sauces on hand will allow your guests to choose their favorite. Some popular options include ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, and ketchup.
  • Make sure the dipping sauce is the right consistency: The dipping sauce should be thick enough to coat the food, but not so thick that it's difficult to dip. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding cornstarch or flour.

Conclusion:

Marinades and dipping sauces are a great way to add flavor and excitement to your meals. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique recipes that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're cooking, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. You might just be surprised at what you create!
