  1. Thank you, Secret! I'm a transplanted Tulsan who fondly remembers having this dish at Bishops in downtown Tulsa on Sundays after church with the family. I was cruising 'zaar today looking for something different to do with ground beef, and on a whim typed in 'Brown Derby', and there it was. This is a unique recipe that made Bishop's famous. You made my day!
     
  2. I got this recipe from the chef at Bishop's when I was a teenager. This is accurate, but the chef was very clear that the roux for the Diablo sauce had to be made with real butter. He made the sauce up a vat at a time, so the A-1 and other sauces provided in my recipe were by the bottle.
     
  3. Bless you Gingerbear for finding and sharing this lost recipe for Bishops one of a kind Brown Derby with Diablo Sauce which I had as a child in Tulsa but have never forgotten. Now thanks to you I can re-create this feast of the dish and I urge everyone who reads your recipe to try to do the same. They will not forget it either. All of us who appreciated Bishops unique recipes and dishes are grateful to you for reminding us that they're still possible to make. UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE MAKES THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I will drink a toast to you Gingerbear. Thank you, melpreisz

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
