Welcome to The Karney Family Recipe Site!

I have many vivid and wonderful memories of family and friends gathering around the table to celebrate holidays, special events and just the companionship of one another. Meals were always a special event whether eaten at a table with cloth napkins, holiday decorations and the good china, or on a picnic table with a red checked tablecloth on a balmy summer day.

Throughout history, meals have always occupied a special place in the world's great religions. As we gather for sustenance and companionship, we are in our most vulnerable human condition, and that's where the Divine enters. This is precisely why mealtime is sacred and shouldn't be subservient to television, texting and other interruptions. We need each others companionship and the opportunity to be fully human so much that we can't let distractions overwhelm us.

My wife Natalie, and I have always enjoyed cooking, and as our sons, Jared, Jeff and Kevin got older, they all became good cooks. I had been working on putting together a book of both traditional family recipes and favorite newer recipes, but how do you ever say such a thing is done. So, I decided that the best solution would be to put the recipes online where they would be available to friends and family, and now of course to anyone else who is interested. And now we have added three wonderful daughters-in-law, Izabella, Amie and Katy, who with their extended families, I'm sure will be contributing some wonderful recipes.

So. Make some great food, gather around the table with your loved ones and strangers as well, give thanks to God, share your stories and celebrate life.

Bon appetit! - Mark Karney

I put this recipe together to put over meatloaf, but it would be excellent on any type of steak. It doesn’t take long to make and is lower in fat than regular gravy.

Author: Mark Karney

Ingredients

1 large shallot
6 oz. Cremini or Baby Bella mushrooms
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 can (10 ½ oz.) Campbell’s Beef Consomme
½ cup dry red wine
1 ½ tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
Black Pepper

Instructions

Slice shallot thinly, slice and chop mushrooms to desired size.
Saute shallot and mushrooms in the olive oil over high heat until shallot is translucent the mushrooms begin to shrink.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the flour on the mixture and stir in until the flour absorbs the fat and juices and no white flour is visible.
Return the pan to medium heat and stir in the Beef Consomme, wine and Worcestershire Sauce and stir continuously until the sauce begins to thicken. Season with black pepper and reduce to desired consistency.
Serve over beef and meatloaf.

Notes

This sauce is rather thin. If you would like it to be more like gravy, add more olive oil and flour.

This is a spicy Vietnamese sauce that we use on our Vietnamese barbecued pork patties. It would probably be good with grilled meats, vegetables and seafood.
