Number Of Ingredients 12

1 beef rump roast (about 3 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound cremini mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled plum tomatoes with juice
2 cups dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound penne or other tubular pasta
Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season beef all over with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add beef, and brown on all sides. Transfer beef to a rimmed baking sheet. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until edges are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, and crush with spoon. Stir in wine and red-pepper flakes. Return beef to pot, and spoon tomato mixture over top. Cover, and place in oven. Braise until beef is fork-tender, about 4 hours.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add pasta; cook until al dente. Drain, and return to pot.
  • Remove pot from oven. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate. Toss pasta with the sauce; transfer to bowls. Top with pieces of beef, dividing evenly, and garnish with Parmesan.

This ragu was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the beef was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I definitely won't be making this again.

The ragu was good, but it wasn't anything special. The sauce was a little bland and the beef was a little tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients, and I ended up with a sauce that was too thin and bland. I'll stick to my simpler ragu recipe next time.

I've made this ragu several times and it's always a hit. The beef is always tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.

The ragu was good, but not great. The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, and the beef was a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
