Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, plus
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 cup milk
2 lbs ground beef (equal parts beef, pork, and veal preferred)
2/3 cup crushed saltine
1/4 cup minced flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
8 ounces thinly sliced bacon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms (8 ounces)
1/4 cup unbleached flour
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock (store-bought or homemade)
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour the oil into a sauté pan and set over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, thyme, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and milk.
  • Place the ground meat into another bowl and pour the egg mixture over the meat.
  • Add the saltines, parsley, onion, and garlic to the bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roll up your sleeves, and knead the meat together with the other ingredients until well blended (if you like, cook a small portion of the mixture in a pan, taste, and adjust seasoning).
  • Transfer to a cookie sheet and form into a loaf.
  • If using the bacon, wrap the slices lengthwise over the top and tuck them under the loaf, to completely cover the meat.
  • Bake for 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees.
  • If the bacon on the top is not as crisp as you would like, put the meatloaf under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with mushroom gravy (recipe#66984) and mashed potatoes recipe#104098.
  • Mushroom Gravy (recipe#66984): Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the mushrooms and sauté until brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty.
  • Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
  • Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  • Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve in a sauceboat.

MEAT LOAF WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY



Meat Loaf With Mushroom Gravy image

My mom's meat loaf is inarguably better than yours, but this is not my mom's meat loaf recipe. This one is an amalgam, intended to evoke all the important meat loaves in my life-and there have been many: The meat loaf I'd get at the family table as a child; the meat loaf I'd find (if I was lucky) in the steam table in the school cafeteria, usually festering in a pool of graying commercial gravy (God, I loved that stuff-especially when stoned); the meat loaf in the familiar foil tray of a Swanson TV dinner (which freed me from the oppression of a loving dinner table!); and the meat loaf my bosses insisted I keep on the menu at my first chef job-the restaurant failed, but the meat loaf was quite good. This, then is the sum of all those experiences.

Yield Serves 6-12

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large yellow or white onion, peeled and very finely chopped
3 ribs celery, very finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh marjoram, leaves only, very finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only, very finely chopped
Salt and finely ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 1/3 pounds ground veal
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound cremini mushrooms, diced
2 large or 3 to 4 shallots, peeled and finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups veal stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
Special Equipment
Instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat and add the onion, celery, marjoram, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are soft and translucent but not browned. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • Once the vegetable mixture is cool, add the beef, veal, eggs, bread crumbs, and about 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix well with scrupulously clean or rubber-gloved hands. Use the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to grease a loaf pan and transfer the mixture to the pan, packing it down gently. Cover the loaf with foil and place the loaf pan on a sheet pan. Cook in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil and spread the top of the meat loaf with the tomato paste. Continue to cook for another 30 to 45 minutes, until the instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150˚F. Remove from the oven and let the meat loaf rest, in the loaf pan, on a wire rack.
  • While it rests, make the gravy. In a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan, heat the butter until it foams and subsides. Add the diced mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until their released juices evaporate and the mushrooms begin to squeak against the surface of the pan when stirred. Add the shallots and salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook until the mushrooms get browned and the shallots are translucent or slightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to evenly coat. Cook over medium heat, stirring more or less constantly, for about 2 minutes, to cook off the raw flour taste, then stir in the stock. Whisk the mixture to pull the stuck flour up from the surface of the pan and into the gravy. Add a splash more stock or water if necessary if the mixture seems too thick, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve the meat loaf in slices, with the gravy ladled over or alongside. Accompany with mashed potatoes if you like.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound pork sausage, meat removed from casings
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
One 32-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
5 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 Anaheim chile
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup yellow mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place beef, sausage, eggs and panko in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Place tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire, oregano, pepper, thyme, kosher salt, seasoning salt, garlic, yellow onion, chile and red onion in a high-powered blender and puree. Reserve half of this mixture for the tomato gravy. Pour the remaining half into the mixing bowl with the meat. Mix the meat really well with your hands until the meatloaf mixture is all the same color.
  • Pack the meatloaf mixture into a 6-by-11-inch pan (or something similar). Place pan on a baking sheet to catch any fat that spills out during cooking. Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155 degrees F, 1 hour 30 minutes. Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then pour the fat out of the pan.
  • For the tomato gravy: Meanwhile, whisk together ketchup, tomato paste, mustard and reserved vegetable mix in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring up to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then simmer, stirring every couple of minutes, for 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the tomato gravy with your finished meatloaf! Most importantly, enjoy with friends and family!
