Welcome to our kitchen, where we’re about to embark on a culinary journey with a twist on a classic meat sauce recipe. Chef John from Hook’d Up Bar and Grill is here to share his secret recipe for a delicious and vibrant Beef Brisket Cherry Tomato Meat Sauce. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with this flavorful creation!
The Perfect Meaty Sauce
The key to this recipe is the combination of tender beef brisket and juicy cherry tomatoes. Chef John begins by browning the meat in a Dutch oven, which allows the flavors to develop beautifully. Instead of browning the meat in small batches, he throws it all in at once, resulting in succulent and caramelized chunks of beef.
Once the meat is perfectly browned, it’s time to add the magic ingredient – cherry tomatoes. Chef John blends the tomatoes with olive oil, shallots, and garlic to create a smooth and fragrant puree. This adds a burst of freshness to the sauce, elevating it to a whole new level.
A Touch of Simplicity
To enhance the flavors even further, Chef John adds a touch of tomato paste and a splash of heavy cream for a hint of richness. The sauce is then left to simmer on low heat for hours, allowing the beef to become tender and fall apart effortlessly. The result is a meat sauce that is bursting with flavor and has a tantalizing aroma.
Serving Suggestions
Now that your sauce is ready, it’s time to choose the perfect pasta shape to complement it. Chef John recommends penne pasta, but feel free to experiment with your favorite type. Once cooked, toss the pasta with the meat sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly. Finish it off with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Reggiano cheese for added richness.
