red pepper flakes
Alternate ingredients:

Make sure the oil is not too hot or it will ruin the garlic - Then cook the chopped onion until translucent - add bacon and or bacon fat fat if you have any - add one small can of beef broth and/or chicken broth. - Add tomato paste (one small can) - Then add the two large cans of peeled whole tomatoes. Crush with your fingers as you put them in. - Add additional spices basil, bay leaf, salt, pepper - Consider adding a small amount of carrots (or a little sugar instead of carrots). - Put the meat back in. - After awhile, pour in a little bit of wine - Simmer for 2 hours or until the beef is falling apart - Stir frequently avoid burning
