Slow-cooker beef ragu is the perfect recipe to prepare when you want a hearty, flavorful meal with minimal effort. This delicious Italian-inspired dish combines tender, slow-cooked beef with a rich tomato sauce, creating a comforting and satisfying meal that can be served over pasta, polenta, or crusty bread.
- For extra depth of flavor, brown the beef in batches to ensure an even, deep caramelization.
- If you have extra time, let the ragu sit in the refrigerator overnight. The flavors will meld together and taste even better the next day.
- To reduce the fat content, you can skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce before shredding the beef.
- If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme as a substitute.
Enjoy the rich and robust flavors of this slow-cooker beef ragu with your favorite rustic sides. It's a great option for a family meal or entertaining guests, offering both comfort and elegance with minimal effort. This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer, making it a convenient choice for busy weeknights.
