Beef Bolognese

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 1 medium carrot (diced)
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup Captûre Merlot
  • 2 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 32 ounces whole peeled tomatoes
  • pinch red chili flakes
  • romano cheese and fresh basil (optional garnish)
  • cooked pasta (optional, to serve)

Steps

  1. 1

    Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Stir in onions, garlic and carrots along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until veggies are tender, about 6-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add sirloin to the pan along with a pinch of salt and pepper then begin breaking up with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle in the rosemary and oregano then continue cooking until beef is browned almost to the point of forming a crust.

  3. 3

    Stir in tomato paste and heat until fragrant, about 45 seconds before stirring in the Captûre Merlot to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4

    Add broth to the pan and stir well then add in the whole peeled tomatoes. Using scissors, carefully begin breaking down the tomatoes in to bite-sized chunks. Bring pan to a boil then reduce heat to low. Season with a pinch more salt and pepper then simmer for 20 minutes before serving over cooked pasta. Garnish with cheese and basil if you wish. Serve over pasta if you wish.
