Jerky Tomato Sauce
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes minutes
Yield: 4 cups
- 3 to 4 ounces beef jerky
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Cut the jerky into small bite-size pieces using kitchen shears, set in the boiling water to rehydrate, and set aside.
Combine the vegetable oil, onions, bell pepper, and salt in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat. Sweat until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rehydrated jerky and its liquid along with the tomatoes, parsley, and cream, and continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve over toast, biscuits, rice, or pasta.
