Rochester Hot Sauce is different from your typical hot sauce. In fact, the “hot factor” doesn’t even reference the spice, but more the actual temperture, as in it is served hot. It’s more akin to Cincinnati Chili or Hot Dog Sauce.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons light extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion , chopped
3 cloves garlic , minced
2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces light beer
4 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons carrot , finely minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon cumin
Directions
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Add the onion, sauteing until soft.
Add the garlic, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking apart as it cooks. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Beef should actually be brown with a little crust on it.
Stir in the beer, tomato paste, mustard, carrots, brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne, pepper, salt and cumin.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
