Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Season beef and sear in olive oil in a Dutch oven until browned on all sides; set aside.
  2. Soften finely diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in the same pot for 8 minutes.
  3. Pour in red wine and simmer to reduce by half, scraping up browned bits.
  4. Return beef, add crushed tomatoes, cover, and braise at a low simmer for 2.5 hours until fork-tender.
  5. Shred the beef into the sauce and season to taste.
  6. Boil pappardelle until al dente, toss with ragu, and finish with grated parmesan.
