As the weather cools down, this is the kind of meal that’s perfect for a cosy night in. It\u2019s slow cooked, rich and comforting. Made with a simple, affordable cut of beef and a few pantry staples, this ragu turns into something seriously special after a few hours.<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Build the base<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.<\/li>\n
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add a bit more olive oil, then add the onion, carrot and celery (soffritto). Season lightly and cook for 20\u201330 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply fragrant. Take your time here; this is where the flavour builds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Build the sauce<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Increase heat to high and stir in the tomato paste. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes until it darkens slightly.<\/li>\n
    2. Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until mostly reduced.<\/li>\n
    3. Return the beef to the pot, then add the passata, beef stock, bay leaves and parmesan rinds (if using). Stir to combine.<\/li>\n
    4. Bring to a gentle boil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Slow cook<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Cover with a lid and cook in the oven at 180\u00b0C for 2\u20132\u00bd hours. Or, cook on the stove at a very gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Finish<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Remove the beef, shred it with two forks, then return it to the sauce.<\/li>\n
        2. If the sauce has reduced too much, add a splash of water or stock to loosen.<\/li>\n
        3. Cook your pasta according to packet instructions. Reserve a little pasta water before draining.<\/li>\n
        4. Add the ragu to the pasta with a splash of pasta water and toss until glossy and well combined.<\/li>\n
        5. Serve with a generous amount of parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

          • Short on time? Swap the diced beef for mince; you\u2019ll get all the flavour in a fraction of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>
