There’s nothing like listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Tony Bennett when you’re cooking. The jazzy music is the perfect background for making a big pot of your favorite comfort food. And, don’t lie, they’re great tunes for dancing around the kitchen, too.

No one can replace the classics, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the honorary legend who graces our dinner jazz playlist: Michael Bublé. Sure, the Grammy Award-winning singer lives on repeat during the holiday season for his swingy renditions of our favorite Christmas tunes, but “Feeling Good” holds up with the best of the best.

But while grooving to your favorite artists in the kitchen, do you ever wonder what those stars are cooking up in their spare time? We certainly do. That’s why we’ve bookmarked the recipes for Johnny Cash’s chili, Dolly Parton’s casserole, and Liza Minnelli’s potato appetizer, so we can easily find them again later.

Michael Bublé’s Go-To Comfort Meal

So, while we’re busy singing along to “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” or “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas,” what’s the Canadian singer cooking up for himself? It turns out the crooner’s favorite comfort food comes from his Nonna’s cookbook.

Bublé says his grandmother’s red meat risotto recipe is one of his favorites. The one-pot, six-ingredient (if you don’t count the pantry staples like butter and water) recipe makes an easy and mouthwatering dinner that you’ll want to enjoy in any season.

“My Nonna’s famous risotto is one of my favorite things to cook. I was really lucky to have a beautiful, close relationship with my grandparents, so honoring both of them through food and whiskey means a lot to me and helps keep their spirits alive. It brings back memories of some of our happiest times together,” Bublé told us in an exclusive statement.

While we’re all for pairing this meal with some crusty bread—and maybe a delightful fire and Bublé soundtrack—the singer opts for a whiskey cocktail (much like Sinatra, himself, would). Bublé pairs the red meat risotto with a honey whiskey sour made from his own Fraser & Thompon Whiskey, of course.

Whiskey or not, the recipe is a must-make. Here’s the recipe, shared exclusively with Allrecipes.

Michael Bublé’s Nonna’s Red Meat Risotto

Ingredients:

• Butter
• 2 large white onions, chopped
• 2 cups steak, finely chopped (round steak is best)
• 2-3 beef bouillon cubes
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 26.5 ounces arborio rice
• Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

1. Add onions to a stockpot with butter (or oil). Cook until translucent.
2. Add the steak and cook all together. It takes about 10 minutes.
3. Add 2 to 3 beef bouillon cubes (to taste); the amount will depend on the size of the batch you are making. You may need more or less. When you cook the rice, you add a lot of water, so you may need to add more bouillon during the cooking process.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes and rice. Add 1 cup of hot water to the rice and sauce, and stir continuously on low to medium heat. Once the water has evaporated, add another cup of water. Continue doing this until the rice is tender and cooked through. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes. You must keep stirring or it will burn.
5. Once cooked, add some Parmesan cheese and it’s ready to serve!
