AWESOME CONEY SAUCE



Awesome Coney Sauce image

I love a good hotdog, and one covered in Coney sauce is even better. Okay, I know that there are a lot of Coney sauce recipes out there in the wide world; and, although people associate Coney with Coney Island, the original Coney sauce came about in the Detroit area in the early part of the last century. It then spread to the...

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lb finely ground sirloin
1 1/2 c cold water, or beef stock
8 oz tomato sauce, plain
6 Tbsp chili powder
3 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tsp garlic, minced, or 1 teaspoon powder
1 tsp hot sauce (franks)
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • 1. Chef's Note: There are two secrets to the traditional sauce: a minimum of ingredients, and the cut of the ground beef. As one vendor I talked to on Coney Island said to me: If you want to add extra onions, mustard, beans, whatever... Go for it, but the sauce is the sauce, pure and simple (a man of few words). In truth, keeping the ingredients to a minimum makes this an ideal sauce for a variety of things: For example, it's an excellent sauce for a chili/cheese burger.
  • 2. Start by finely chopping the onions. Chef's Tip: The easiest way to do this is to use the large holes on a box grater. In addition, when you grate an onion, it will release a lot of moisture from the ruptured cell walls, and I usually pick up some of that excess liquid by laying the grated onion on a few sheets of paper towels.
  • 3. Have your other ingredients close at hand.
  • 4. Add the cold water (or stock) to a skillet, and then add the grated onions, and the ground beef. Chef's Note: This ground sirloin is not your typical grind... it's called a triple grind by your butcher. What I usually do is take regular grind and put it into my food processer for a couple of spins. The result is a very finely ground beef, and that is one of the secrets of this sauce.
  • 5. Chef's Historical Note: According to the historical record, the recipe used ground beef heart, which is then ground to a consistency of fine-ground beef... not ground sirloin.
  • 6. Simmer the onion and beef over medium-to-medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, and the onions are soft, about15 minutes.
  • 7. Add the remaining ingredients, and slow simmer, uncovered, until it thickens, about 2 to 3 hours. Chef's Tip: I like Maxine's chili powder, but it's hot, so I usually use only 4 tablespoons. Actually, the chili powder will really make this sauce... Chef's Note: If it begins drying out, add a bit of water, or broth.
  • 8. Chef's Tip: If you are using beef stock, as opposed to plain water, then you might want to leave out the additional salt.
  • 9. Well, that's about it... get yourself a dog or two, and have at it. What are you waiting for...
  • 10. One more thing: If you are a purest, and you want the "real" experience, then you need the right hotdog, and that's from the Koegel Meat Company in Flint, Michigan. Keep the faith, and keep cooking...

Coney Island sauce is a popular topping for hot dogs and burgers that originated in Michigan. It is also known as "Coney sauce" or "a w Coney sauce" because it was popularized by the A&W chain of restaurants. The sauce is a meaty and slightly sweet chili that combines ground beef, spices, and tomato sauce. It is typically served over grilled hot dogs and topped with diced onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

A Brief History of Coney Island Sauce

Coney Island sauce has murky origins, with multiple cities claiming to be the birthplace of the dish. However, most food historians agree that the sauce originated in Michigan in the early 20th century. There are two main theories about how the sauce got its name. One theory is that it was named after Coney Island in New York, which was a popular amusement park and beach destination at the time. The other theory is that it was named after Coney Island Hot Dogs, a Detroit-based chain of restaurants that served hot dogs with this type of sauce. Regardless of its origins, Coney Island sauce quickly became popular throughout Michigan and surrounding states. It was particularly popular among working-class Americans who wanted a cheap and filling meal. Today, Coney Island sauce is still a staple of Michigan cuisine and has spread to other parts of the country.

Ingredients in Coney Island Sauce

The exact recipe for Coney Island sauce can vary depending on where you get it. However, most recipes include the following ingredients:
  • Ground beef: The meat is the main ingredient in Coney Island sauce and gives it its meaty flavor.
  • Tomato sauce: This gives the sauce a rich and slightly sweet flavor, as well as a smooth texture.
  • Chili powder, paprika, and cumin: These spices give the sauce its signature smoky and slightly spicy taste.
  • Onion and garlic: These add additional flavor and depth to the sauce.
  • Worcestershire sauce: This gives the sauce a savory and umami flavor.
  • Mustard: This adds a tangy flavor and helps to emulsify the sauce.
  • Brown sugar: This adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the other flavors.

How to Serve Coney Island Sauce

Coney Island sauce is typically served over grilled hot dogs or burgers, and is often topped with diced onions and shredded cheddar cheese. Some people also like to serve it with other toppings like pickles, jalapenos, or hot sauce. The sauce can also be used as a dip for fries or as a topping for nachos.

Variations of Coney Island Sauce

There are many variations of Coney Island sauce, each with their own unique flavor and texture. Some popular variations include:
  • Detroit-style Coney sauce: This style of sauce is the most traditional and is often served at Coney Island restaurants throughout Michigan. It is a meaty chili with a slightly sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Texas-style Coney sauce: This style of sauce is spicier than traditional Coney sauce and is made with ground beef and chili peppers.
  • Vegetarian Coney sauce: This style of sauce is made with textured vegetable protein (TVP) instead of ground beef and is a good option for vegetarians or those who want to reduce their meat consumption.
  • Cincinnati-style Coney sauce: This style of sauce is sweeter than traditional Coney sauce and is made with ground cinnamon and allspice.

Conclusion

Coney Island sauce is a delicious and versatile topping that is popular throughout Michigan and beyond.

With so many variations of Coney Island sauce available, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
A classic American dish, a coney island hot dog is a staple at any outdoor gathering, stadium or amusement park. One of the key ingredients in this delicious food is the coney island sauce. The sauce is made with a combination of spices, ground beef, beans and tomato sauce. While it may seem like a simple recipe, creating a delicious coney island sauce can be quite tricky. In this article, we have put together some valuable tips that can help you create the perfect coney island sauce recipe.

Choose the Right Ground Beef

The first and most important step to creating a delicious coney island sauce is choosing the right ground beef. You want to select a ground beef that has a good meat to fat ratio. Too much fat can make the sauce greasy and too little fat can make the sauce dry. A ground beef with at least 20% fat is ideal for making a coney island sauce. You can also opt for ground beef that has already been seasoned with salt and pepper to add extra flavor to the sauce.

Spice it Up

A good coney island sauce should have a balance of spices that give it a unique and tasty flavor. The most common spices used in this recipe are chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. The amount of each spice you use will depend on your taste preferences, but generally a tablespoon of each spice should be sufficient. Experiment with different spice combinations until you find the right balance of flavors.

Consider Adding Beans

Adding beans to your coney island sauce is a great way to make it more nutritious and hearty. The most common beans used in this recipe are kidney beans and pinto beans. You can use canned beans or cook them from scratch. If you prefer a smoother sauce, mash the beans before adding them to the sauce. Beans also help thicken the sauce and give it a rich, hearty texture.

Tomato Sauce is Key

The tomato sauce you use in your coney island sauce recipe can be the difference between a good and a great sauce. Choose a high-quality, low-sodium tomato sauce to get the best results. You can also use tomato paste if you prefer a thicker sauce. Adding a couple of tablespoons of ketchup can also add some sweetness to the sauce.

Cooking Time Matters

The cooking time for your coney island sauce is critical to its success. You want to make sure the sauce is cooked long enough to allow the flavors to blend together but not too long that it becomes overcooked and dry. Generally, cooking the sauce on low heat for at least an hour is sufficient. This will give the ground beef enough time to cook and the flavors to meld together.

Don't Forget the Toppings

A coney island hot dog is not complete without the toppings. While the sauce is the star of the dish, adding other toppings like mustard, diced onions, shredded cheese, and relish can take the dish to the next level. You can also serve the hot dog on a warm bun for added comfort.

Conclusion

Making a delicious coney island sauce is all about finding the right balance of flavors and ingredients. With the tips mentioned above, you can recreate this classic American dish and impress your friends and family. Remember to choose the right ground beef, spice it up, consider adding beans, use high-quality tomato sauce and pay attention to cooking time. Finally, don't forget to add your favorite toppings to take your coney island hot dogs to the next level.
