Chili-Corn Sauce: ===================== Coarsely chop the reserved
trimmings from your onions and peppers; set aside. Cut the whole
onion and peppers into a neat fine dice; set aside. With a small
paring knife remove the corn kernels from the cob, reserving the
cobs, and combine kernels with the diced vegetable mixture. In a
large heave saucepan heat 2 tablespoons of oil until very hot but
not smoking. Add the meat cubes and stir over high heat, shaking
the pan, until the meat is nicely browned (about 7 minutes.) Add
the chopped vegetable trimmings to the meat and toss 4 to 5
minutes. Add the garlic to the mixture and toss 2 minutes. Add the
chili powder, ground red pepper and black pepper to the mixture and
stir for 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and reduce the mixture for 2
minutes. Add the Veal Stock and reserved corncobs and bring the
mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil mixture gently, skimming any fat
from the surface frequently, until the stock has reduced to a light
syrupy consistency (20 minutes or more.) Add the cream and continue
to boil gently, skimming, until liquid is reduced and coats the
back of a spoon (about 8 minutes or longer.) Remove and discard
corncobs. Strain half of the mixture into a clean saucepan, add
corn and vegetable mixture to strained liquid, boil for 2 minutes,
and set aside. (Combine unstrained half and solids from strained
half and reserve as a stew for another meal. Further cooking may be
necessary.) Source: New York’s Master Chefs, Bon Appetit Magazine :
