Description
This hearty meat sauce is comfort food in a bowl, with rich flavor from red wine and tomatoes. It's the perfect accompaniment to homemade Basic Pasta Dough cut into fettuccine, but of course, the sauce is excellent over store-bought fettuccine as well. Don’t be alarmed by the cooking time for the ragu. It’s a recipe you can get going and let simmer away on the stove while you do other things, making it perfect for a weekend dinner. It yields about 9 cups sauce. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Ashley Strickland Freeman.
Ingredients
- 1 chuck roast (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 tsp. salt (for beef)
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (for beef)
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 large onions (chopped, 1 large onion is about 2 cups)
- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1 large carrots (chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt (for sauce, plus more for serving)
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (for sauce, plus more for serving)
- fettuccine (homemade Basic Egg Pasta, cut into fettuccine; or use store-bought fettuccine)
- Pecorino Romano cheese (grated)
- chopped parsley
Directions
- Sprinkle chuck roast with salt and pepper for beef. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides, turning as needed, about 10 minutes total. Remove beef from pan.
- Add onion, celery, and carrot to drippings in the pan. Sauté until vegetables are tender, 5-6 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until tomato paste and vegetables “melt” together and the tomato paste begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add wine to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping bottom of pan to release any browned bits. Stir in beef broth, crushed tomatoes, sugar, and salt and pepper for sauce. Return the beef to the pan.
