Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. 3

    Brown the Meat

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 4

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

  4. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaf, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove bay leaf before serving.
