Wagyu spaghetti sauce

Unlike supermarket beef

• Unlike supermarket beef, do not start the pan with cooking oil.
• Unlike supermarket beef, do not drain the pan before the sauce.

Before you start

• A 1 lb pack needs overnight in the fridge. Never thaw it on the counter.
• Take it out 20 to 30 minutes before you cook.

Tools: Saucepan or deep skillet, Spoon or fork, Instant-read thermometer.

What you need

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 fresh tomato, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cooked spaghetti

Steps

1. 1

   Put the beef and minced garlic in a dry pan on medium heat. Add no oil.

   Do not add oil. The fat in the beef is the cooking fat.

2. 2

   Break up the meat and cook about 5 minutes, until it is mostly cooked.

3. 3

   Pour in the jar of sauce, then the chopped tomato and onion.

4. 4

   Turn the heat to high, boil 1 to 2 minutes, and check the beef hits 160°F.

   Check 160°F after the boil, not before the sauce goes in.

5. 5

   Serve over spaghetti.
