>I can now create the most tender and flavorful meat sauce consistently every time I make spaghetti.
I'm not even going to reveal what I did because I know that one of you fuckers is going to proceed to claim that they already know about it and that it's common knowledge.
No, I didn't slow cook this for hours.
Good luck guessing what I did. You're all going to be wrong.

Sounds gross but just try it: ground beef in water, over low heat mash with a potato masher until it's a textureless pink emulsion. Pressure cooker will give you some maillard reaction, or you can simmer it for hours. If you use canned tomatoes you can use the liquid from that instead of water. You can make the sauce before the simmering. Maillard isn't even necessary, just much better with it than without. I like a thick meat sauce so I'll reduce it a lot. Helps if you use a braiser instead of saucepan. Spaghetti sucks ass too, use linguine. The meat is so fine no other shape really works right.

>>21884227
Based on your photo, if that beef is tender you achieved it by:
Not browning the meat
Slowly stewing it in water
Draining most of the water
Mixing through a dash of tomato paste
Adding nothing else but some pepper when serving
I'm not sure it's got flavour ey

There might be a 3% chance that someone on /ck/ has used this technique before.

>>21885255
you velveted it in sodium bicarbonate and then rinsed it clean in a strainer before adding to your jar sauce

I've previously used every technique posted so far by anons, they all don't work.
>slow cooking
>breaking up and cooking the ground meat in water
>not browning the meat
>using milk
>adding baking soda to the meat
Someone's gonna post the technique eventually. I know that it's not a big secret. But do /ck/ posters actually know it? I've previously made threads asking how to make a tender meat sauce, but I never got a reply back with a good method. Through trial and error, I discovered it myself.

You do realize that by playing your little “I’m better than you” game that you just prove you’re either a cunt and an attention whore for withholding, or a blowhard… right?
>>
>>21885329
op here, I'm sorry. It's just a personality function of mine. I'm gay as fuck but like to larp as a pedo. As the third post indicated, I make this thread often then just act like a cunt. I was going to say I'm sorry but I'm not because I'm a immature and narcissistic prick. Thanks for your time. Expect the exact same topic soon, with me acting smarmy and obnoxious.

I do use a similar method to my meat sauce for making tender taco meat.

I put my 2 cents
>put some pasta water before the pasta finished but cooked a little so it released the Starch inside and added the pasta water to the sauce but only half a ladle and let it reduce to get the creamy texture.
I say this because it's pretty common in Italy but not everyone know it or use it, they say it's the "Restaurnat trick".
But maybe i'm wrong.

Lets mystical guess.
You drained some of the grease but not all of it
You browned the beef then you mixed it in the sauce to finish
You used a bay leaf
You used oregano
You used bone marrow or cooked a bone in the sauce to smooth out the flavor
You deglazed with wine
You cooked it with onions but removed the onions cause youre gay but wanted the juices
You added a bit of butter or heavy cream
You used less tomato paste
You used more tomato paste
You used corn starch
>>
I don't know what faggot OP does but I assure you if you want a tender meat sauce just go low and slow in milk with a fatty beef and veal mix mixed with a very finely diced up and sauteed mirepoix
break up the meat as fine as possible

Once when I was a kid my father was eating dinner when he suddenly jumped out of his chair and I heard a great crashing sound as he flung his plate of spaghetti and meat sauce against the wall and it shattered into pieces.
"What the fuck is this Lorraine!? This meat sauce isn't tender! This meat sauce is tough and chewy! You bitch!" My father screamed.
"I'm sorry Phillip, I don't know the secret to making the perfect tender meat sauce for spaghetti! My mother never told me because I got disowned by my family for being pregnant with anon! My mother replied.
They both turned to stare at me, anger and frustration in their eyes. The chewy sauce was my fault. I had known since tasting dinner myself an hour earlier.

Good for OP, I guess.
Here's like how I like to make my sauce
>olive oil in pan
>pre-heat
>add some finely chopped onions and garlic to pan
>fry till the onions start to become glassy
>add minced meat
>fry till it's nice and brown
>add tomato past and water
>reduce
>season with some salt, pepper, oregano and paprika powder and a little bit of sugar
>stirr throughly and let it simmer on low for like a minute

So far, I'll just say that the ingredient(s) and technique hasn't been posted so far. The trick is so simple and stupid, that it'll sound ridiculous if you hear it.

If bone is the closest thing, I'm going to assume it's a different body part.
You used some sort of ground organ meat?
Only other thing I can think of is pineapple because it breaks down meat, but fuck if I know how that correlates to bone.

>>21896941
You put the pasta back in the pot, you add a little gravy and a little butter, then you put the fire back on and for 45 seconds stir it up real nice. That way the macaroni absorbs the gravy instead of just coats it.

So your secret to a tender meat sauce is to make a meat and breadcrumb sauce?
You know what my secret to making a tough steak tender is? You throw the tough steak out and buy a tender one to replace it.
That’s you, you fucking faggot. It’s not a ‘meat sauce’ if it includes breadcrumbs. I’m not even Italian and I want to hang you upside down under a bridge so you drown by inches as the tide comes in. Fuck you, you fucking faggot.

Here’s the post that massively cocksucking cum guzzling faggot OP deleted out of well deserved shame.
>>
>>
>>21898496
I don't know why OP deleted his post.
Panade is a traditional ingredient in meatballs. What's the problem?
>Panade is a culinary technique originating from France, where a mixture of starch and liquid—typically bread and milk—is used to keep ground meats like meatballs, meatloaf, and burgers moist and tender.
>The term translates literally to "bread mash" and works by interrupting the contraction of meat proteins during cooking. The starches absorb moisture and undergo gelatinization, acting like tiny sponges that retain juiciness and prevent dryness.
>>
>>
>>
>>21899102
Yeah because he said ‘meat sauce’ and not ‘mashed soggy breadcrumbs and meat sauce’. The fundamental premise of his claim was misleading. It’s like saying “I have the secret to the perfect roast turkey, guess what it is” when the secret is making a turducken. OP is a faggot and you’re also a faggot for defending him.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>21898661
Didn't mean to delete the post. Shared IP. If this post gets deleted too, that's the reason.
Panade is a method used by America's Test Kitchen for meat sauces. Don't know why it's not common when it works so well.

I'll just say this; if you like meatballs and spaghetti, you'll like this. Being pedantic about meat sauce containing breadcrumbs is like saying meatballs shouldn't contain breadcrumbs because they're called meatballs.
>>
>>
>>21900059
So if you went to a restaurant and ordered pasta bolognese and the sauce was 70% breadcrumbs and milk, you’d shrug and say ‘it’s still meat sauce’? I dunno, sounds to me like you don’t have much respect for food, or yourself.

Well the circumstances were perfect. People wanted an answer so they kept bumping and some had a tab open for days, then finally the reveal generated more activity.
Then it almost died but I bumped it from page 10 keep the cope and seethe on display. It was funny to see the shitty attitudes of 4chan users backfire.

It wasn't "after the hack". It's been this way for years.
The website has no cultural identity anymore because of mod-supported invasion and colonisation from twitter/reddit/tumblr etc.
Twitter screenshot threads are allowed to thrive and 4chan culture threads are banned on sight.

cook your ground beef separately or remove it and clean the pan. learn to make sofritos. oil, aromatics, to your liking. then re-add your protein, then your tomato product. then your herbs.
that's it. that's the whole thing to consistent tomato sauce with meat.
