beef ragu
Slow-cooked Italian sauce
Beef ragu is a slow-cooked Italian meat sauce, typically made by braising beef in tomatoes, wine, and aromatics until the meat becomes tender enough to shred.
The long cooking time develops rich, concentrated flavors.
Served over pasta—especially pappardelle or tagliatelle—or polenta: We simmered the beef ragu for four hours.
