Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Brown the Beef

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the dry-aged Wagyu beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Then pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the wine is reduced by half.

  4. 4

    Combine with Tomatoes

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve the Bolognese over your choice of pasta and garnish with fresh basil.
