Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds veal shoulder, in one piece
1 1/2 pounds beef chuck or sirloin tip, in one piece
2 tablespoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, 1 minced, 1 sliced thin
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and minced
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons allspice
2 teaspoons cumin
4 cups canned plum tomatoes, crushed with their juice
3/4 cup black raisins

Steps:

  • Season each piece of meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. In an 8-quart stockpot, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meats and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes for each side. Remove meat and set aside.
  • Add the minced onion, garlic, carrots and half the ginger to the pan. Lower heat to medium. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in allspice, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and cook for 1 minute.
  • Return the beef to the pot, add the tomatoes and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add the veal and simmer for 1 hour. Add the remaining ginger and the sliced onion and simmer for 30 minutes. The meat should be tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
  • Remove the meat. Continue to simmer the sauce while the meat is cooling. When the meat is cool enough to handle, tear it into bite-size pieces. Return to the pot. Stir in the raisins and season with the remaining salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve with couscous or pasta.

I've made this ragout several times now and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover meat, and the flavors are always amazing. I usually serve it over pasta, but it would also be great over rice or mashed potatoes.

This ragout was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it! The flavors were complex and delicious, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it over polenta and it was a real treat. I would definitely recommend this recipe to any
