Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, shoulder roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast ragu. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before braising it. Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid. Beef broth, red wine, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
- Cook the ragu slowly. The longer you cook it, the more tender the beef will become.
- Serve the ragu over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. It's also great on its own, with a side of bread.
Conclusion:
Pot roast ragu is a delicious and hearty dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting meal, give pot roast ragu a try.
