“Ragu” is a broad term used to describe a rich, slowly cooked Italian meat sauce. It’s hearty, intensely flavorful, &, unlike a slowly simmered marinara or tomato sauce, ragu is all about the meat (or a meaty ingredient, like mushrooms!). I learned how to cook ragu 10+ years ago, working at a fine dining Northern Italian restaurant. To this day, it’s one of my favorite things to cook! We’ve shared many ragu recipes over the years here on PWWB, & we're adding to the collection today with this Slowly Braised Beef Ragu. When slowly simmered with aromatic veggies, fresh herbs, Italian tomatoes, & red wine, hearty & tough beef chuck transforms into the most beautiful homemade ragu. The beef is meltingly tender & succulent, infusing its richness into the sauce. Whether you toss it into pasta (beef ragu pappardelle, pictured) or spoon it over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes, this beef ragu is insanely comforting, impressive, & totally restaurant-worthy. To learn all about ragu, be sure to check out the blog post, above, & for alternate cooking methods, like slow cooker or Instant Pot ragu, check out the Recipe Notes, below. ♡ Happy cooking!

I’m in the kitchen today with @thefeedfeed and @tuttorossotomatoes getting our comfort meal on! Cozy meals are in full effect in my house. ‘Stewy’ type braised foods are perfect this time of year and this recipe is ideal because it really is pretty simple, it makes a ton (so it’s great for crowds and awesome to freeze for a later date too!) and it doesn’t break the bank! And of course I always use the best quality canned tomato products, which in my opinion are Tuttorosso. They use sustainably produced vine ripened tomatoes. They are NON-GMO and use NON-BPA lined cans.... and oh yea, they are the tomatoes my Grandma used 😊
