There are so many ways you can use this meat sauce, but one of my favorites is over spaghetti.

Ingredients

* 4 slices salt pork
* 1 lg. onion, chopped
* 1 carrot
* 2 celery stalks
* 1/4 C. butter
* 1 lb. lean beef, cut into slices
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1/8 tsp. pepper
* 3 cloves
* 4 C. cold water
* 4 bouillon cubes, dissolved in 1 1/4 qts. water

Directions

Place salt pork in a large saucepan, add onion, carrot, celery, butter, slices of beef, salt, pepper and cloves. Cook over medium heat until meat is well-browned. Add 1 C. cold water and continue cooking until water is absorbed. Add water like this 3 more times. When water finally all evaporates, adding water containing cubes. Cover and simmer for 5 hours. Strain and cool.

Yields 3 C. sauce.
