Slow Simmered Beef Ragu
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Level: Easy
Total: 3 hr 50 min
Active: 1 hr
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
One 3 1/2- to 5-pound chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 leeks, whites only, sliced thin and cleaned
2 medium carrots, diced small
10 cloves garlic, sliced
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
2 cups beef stock
2 bay leaves
Cooked pappardelle, for serving
Parmesan cheese wedge, for grating
Fresh basil, for garnish

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. In batches, sear the beef in the oil until browned all over, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove to a sheet pan or plate and set aside.

Add the leeks, carrots, garlic, rosemary and oregano to the Dutch oven and stir. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to soften. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Allow the tomato paste to cook and deepen in flavor, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, stirring and allowing it to come to a boil. Add the beef stock and bay leaves as well as the beef back to the pot.

Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer and cover with the lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the lid and continue to cook until the sauce has reduced slightly and thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

To serve, add the noodles to a bowl. Top with a generous scoop of the ragu, then grate over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil.
