Slowly Braised Beef Ragù
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 300°F. Cut the chuck roast into 4 pieces, season with salt and pepper. Sear in a Dutch oven with olive oil until browned on all sides.
- 2Lower the heat, add butter to the pot. Add carrot, celery, and onion. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper, salt and pepper. Sauté until softened.
- 3Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- 4Add tomato paste and let caramelize, then stir into the vegetables.
- 5Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits. Let simmer to reduce.
- 6Stir in crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- 7Add Parmesan rind, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return beef to the pot, ensuring it’s mostly submerged. Cover and bake for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
