SPRING HILL RANCH'S SLOPPY JOE AND SLOPPY JOSé



Spring Hill Ranch's Sloppy Joe and Sloppy José image

The only day of the week there was an even vaguely good reason to attend junior high school was Thursday, That's when they served sloppy Joes in the cafeteria! It wasn't 'til a few years ago that I found a recipe close to the one they used and with just a little adjustment it was spot-on! So then I couldn't leave well enough...

SPRING HILL RANCH'S HOUSE BARBECUE SAUCE



Spring Hill Ranch's House Barbecue Sauce image

We found a barbecue sauce recipe said to be over 165 years old. After adjusting it with modern-day ingredients and just a little for our own tastes, we decided it was the best all-around sauce we've ever had and that it was more than worthy of the Spring Hill Ranch House Barbecue Sauce moniker. Visitors and summer residents here in the canyon often ask us to make a few quarts of it to take home for their friends. We have always held the recipe to be a secret, though, so don't tell anyone where you got it! Great on beef, chicken, pork, tractor tires, you name it!

SPRING HILL RANCH CENTRAL TEXAS BARBECUE SAUCE



Spring Hill Ranch Central Texas Barbecue Sauce image

If you spend much time in Texas, you will no doubt note that there is a great BBQ shack every quarter mile or so along the wonderful intra-state Texas highways. Of the many sauces around the state, this one is from the Hill Country of central Texas where beef and lamb are kings of the slow-smoking barbecue pit. Influenced by the hearty German pioneers of the area, this is a sweet, very savory tomato-based sauce. It adds a wonderful complexity to barbecued beef brisket and beef ribs and even lamb shanks. The sauce keeps well covered and refrigerated for at least a week.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S SOUTHWESTERN BEEF MARINADE 1



Spring Hill Ranch's Southwestern Beef Marinade 1 image

Coat the meat with the marinade and refrigerate it for at least a couple hours - overnight is fine. This recipe makes plenty to marinate 4 or 6 steaks, 3 or 4 pounds of stew-cut beef, or a good...

SPRING HILL RANCH'S JALAPEñO WHITE SAUCE



Spring Hill Ranch's Jalapeño White Sauce image

Everyone knows (or *should* know) that New Mexico is famous for its chile sauces...and that the official State Question really is "Do you want green or red?" Well, there is a third sauce, and we don't really advertise it much. It is called Terciopelo Jalapeño, or "Jalapeño Velvet." Pour some of this over your next plate of...

SPRING HILL RANCH'S NEW MEXICO RED CHILE SAUCE



Spring Hill Ranch's New Mexico Red Chile Sauce image

Here's the "red" half of the New Mexico State Question, "Red or Green?" As is usual, the red chile sauce has more spicy heat than the green, but the flavor of those red chiles is awesome indeed! Slather this on or under your huevos rancheros, enchiladas, dinner-sized burritos or other New Mexico inspired dish for a truly...

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp lard (or vegetable or canola oil or butter if you must!)
1/2 medium white or red onion, finely diced
2 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 c chimayo red chili powder (or any new mexico red chili powder) (mild, medium or hot - your choice) (or a 13-ounce container of frozen red chile puree)
2 c chicken broth (beef broth may be substituted)
1 1/2 tsp oregano (mexican if you have it)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground cumin (optional, but needed for authenticity)
good water for thinning (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the lard until it is shimmering but not yet smoking. Sauté the onion until it has softened and become translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until it is nice and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour. Stir gently but constantly until the roux reaches a medium brown ("peanut butter") color, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder or chiles, garlic, chicken broth, oregano, salt and cumin (if using). Simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Add a little water if needed for proper consistency. Blend or process if desired for a smoother texture.
  • 2. Slather the hot (temperature-wise) sauce over or under your New Mexican or southwestern dishes. Kept in an air tight container, this should stay fresh for at least a week in the refrigerator.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S TEXAS BLACK JACK SAUCE



Spring Hill Ranch's Texas Black Jack Sauce image

Also known as "Cattle Drive Sauce", this is another innovation from my neighbors to the east. By the late 1870's, condiments such as ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and vinegars were available in cans or bottles - a blessing to the chuckwagon cooks of the era. There'd be biscuits, beans and coffee for breakfast and then the...

2 small yellow or white onions, diced (about 2 cups)
1 c strong black coffee
1 c worcestershire sauce

1/2 c packed dark brown sugar (light brown sugar will do okay)
2 large jalapeño chiles, minced
3 Tbsp chili powder (mild, medium or hot, your choice)
2 Tbsp kosher salt
6 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine the onions, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, jalapeños, chili powder, salt, and garlic.
