Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onions.

- Dice the carrots.
- Dice the celery stalk.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onions.
- Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Add the ground beef to the pot.
- Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot.
- Stir well to combine with the beef mixture.
- Pour in the 2 cans of canned tomatoes (including the juice).
- Add 1/2 cup of water and 1/3 cup of tomato puree.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 30-45 minutes.
- Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- Taste the ragout and season with salt, pepper, or additional herbs and spices as desired.
- Serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or as a filling for a savory pie.
Tips:
- Use a large, heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even cooking and avoid scorching.
- Chop vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Brown the ground beef well to develop a deep, rich flavor.
- Deglaze the pot with the tomato puree and water to incorporate all the caramelized bits stuck to the bottom, which adds extra flavor.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper as you go, but be mindful of the salt content of canned tomatoes.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, allow the ragout to simmer uncovered for a longer period to let excess liquid evaporate.
