Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ribbon pasta, or large tube pasta
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb beef chuck roast, or any stew meat, diced
1 lb oxtail, or beef shank
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ cup red wine, we used zinfandel, malbec or cabernet sauvignon would be great too!
32 fl oz beef stock
28 oz diced tomato
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh oregano
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
fresh parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Season the meat on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large heavy pot with a lid over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and brown the meat in batches until a crust forms, turning to ensure even color on all sides.
  • Once one batch is done, set aside in a bowl or plate with a lip, add another fresh tablespoon of olive oil and continue until all the meat is brown.

  • Pour in the tomatoes, stock, and herb bundle and stir, bring to a simmer and cover with a lid.
  • Allow to simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, if your pot and lid are oven safe, cook in a 325˚F (170˚C) oven for 3 hours.
  • Remove the herb bundle and beef shank.
  • Pull the meat from the oxtail. Using a fork or tongs, discarding the bone and any extra cartilage or extra fat. Add the meat back to the ragu and stir.
  • Skim off any extra fat from the top of the ragu.

Add the meat and cook over high heat, turning once, for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until browned. Remove with tongs or a fork to a plate, (Depending upon the skillet size, this may need to be done in 2 batches. Do not crowd pan, or the meat will not brown.) Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the drippings in the pan along with the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are almost tender. Add the garlic and sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour over vegetables.

BEEF RAGOUT



Beef ragout image

Add a modern-day twist to a classic bolognese with Tom Kerridge's exquisite beef ragout. Serve with hand-cut pappardelle pasta for a great dinner party dish

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 3h55m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1.2kg beef shin, cut into chunks
4-5 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
4 celery sticks, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, sliced
3 tbsp tomato purée
400ml red wine
2 rosemary sprigs
2 bay leaves
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
500ml beef stock
parmesan, grated, and pappardelle (see 'Goes well with', below), to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and season the beef all over. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat and brown the beef until dark, about 15 mins, in batches if you need to, using 1 tbsp oil for each batch. Drain the beef in a colander to remove the fat while you cook the rest.
  • Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper, then add about 2 tbsp oil, the onions, carrots, celery and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for a further 3 mins. Add the wine, herbs, tomatoes and stock, season and bring to the boil, stir the beef back into the sauce and reduce to a simmer. Cover and put in the oven for 2 hrs 30 mins, then remove the lid, stir and put back in the oven, uncovered, for 30 mins. Stir or use a fork to roughly shred the beef, and season. Serve now, or chill until serving - it tastes better if made a day ahead.
  • When ready to serve, gently reheat the ragout over a medium heat. Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted water for 3 mins, drain then tip into the ragout, toss together with some of the parmesan and leave for 1 min. Ladle the pasta into bowls, scatter over the remaining parmesan and serve.
