Ingredients

  • 1 packet squid ink (optional) but use it for the truly coal black experience... more for color than for taste I think. But it's pricey to ship and hard to find.
  • 1 T cocoa (I think this is optional, too). Could be toasted with the chipotle below
  • 2 heaping T black bean sauce (get good rich black stuff --- this is key)
  • 6-10 cloves garlic chopped very fine (critical to Fredness)
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T salt
  • 1 T tamarind paste (or water)... not essential to Fredness, but adds complexity
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder (also not essential, but adds complexity)
  • 1-2 T very strong coffee (or water)
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1.5 - 2 lb tritip (essential!)
