Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook and crumble the beef until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to allow the paste to deepen in flavor.
Pour in the beef broth and stir well, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits.
Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, ground mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Coney Island Sauce hot over grilled hot dogs, and enjoy!
