Description

This hearty Coney Island Sauce recipe is a classic meat sauce made with lean ground beef and a flavorful blend of spices, perfect for topping hot dogs or serving over pasta. Cooked slowly over indirect heat, this sauce combines savory beef stock, tomato paste, and chili powder to create a rich, thick, and savory sauce bursting with traditional flavors.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cooking setup: Prepare a campfire or grill for medium-high heat to create the ideal cooking environment for the sauce.
  2. Brown the beef: In a Dutch oven placed over the campfire or grill, cook the lean ground beef for 8-10 minutes, stirring and breaking it into crumbles until no longer pink.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the beef stock, tomato paste, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, cumin, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Bring to a boil: Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a rolling boil, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated.
  5. Simmer on indirect heat: Move the Dutch oven to an area of indirect heat on the grill or campfire. Let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the sauce.
  • Adjust chili powder based on your preferred spice level.
  • This sauce pairs excellently with hot dogs, steamed buns, or over spaghetti for a hearty meal.
  • If cooking indoors, use a heavy skillet or Dutch oven on the stovetop and simmer gently.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 1 month.
