Season the beef all over with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat and brown the beef until dark, about 15 mins, in batches, using 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. Remove excess fat from the pot while you cook the rest of the beef.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper, then add about 2 tablespoons oil, the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 mins over a low-medium heat. Stir in the tomato pur\u00e9e and cook for a further 3 mins. Add the wine, herbs, tomatoes and stock, season and bring to the boil. Stir the beef back into the sauce and reduce to a simmer. Cover and put in the oven for 2 hrs 30 mins, then remove the lid, stir and put back in the oven, uncovered, for 30 mins. Stir or use a fork to roughly shred the beef and season. Serve now, or chill until serving \u2013 it tastes better if made a day ahead.<\/li>\n<li>When ready to serve, gently reheat the ragout over a medium heat. Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted water for 3 mins, drain, then tip into the ragu, toss together with some of the parmesan and leave for 1 min. Ladle the pasta into bowls, scatter over the remaining and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/beef-ragout<\/p>\n<div class=\"qrcpromodalwrapper\" style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"qrc-modal-toggle\" id=\"popModal_ex2\" style=\"background:#d81313;color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid #ce1e1e;border-radius:20px;padding: 6px 14px;font-size:17px\">Click To View On Phone<\/button><div class=\"qrc_modal\"><div class=\"qrc-overlay qrc-modal-toggle\"><\/div><div class=\"qrc-modal-wrapper qrc-modal-transition\"><span class=\"qrc-modal-toggle\">&times;<\/span><div class=\"qrcswholewtapper\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"qrcprowrapper\"  id=\"qrcwraa2leds\"><div class=\"qrc_canvass\" id=\"qrc_cuttenpages_2\" style=\"display:inline-block\" data-text=\"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/recipe\/33672\/\"><\/div><div><a download=\"Beef Ragu.png\" class=\"qrcdownloads\" id=\"worign\">\r\n           <button type=\"button\" style=\"min-width:250px;background:#c0081d;color:#ffffff;font-weight: 600;border: 1px solid #e2141b;border-radius:20px;font-size:17px;padding: 6px 0;\" class=\"uqr_code_btn\">Scan QR \ud83e\udc0b<\/button>\r\n           <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 1.2kg beef shin, cut into chunks 4-5 tablespoon olive oil 2 onions, finely chopped 3 carrots, finely chopped 4 celery, sticks, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, sliced 3 tablespoon tomato pur\u00e9e 400ml red wine 2 rosemary sprigs 2 bay leaves 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes 500ml beef stock Method Preheat the oven to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"recipe-course":[],"recipe-cuisine":[33,96,116],"recipe-cooking-method":[],"recipe-tag":[],"recipe-key":[],"recipe-badge":[],"recipe-dietary":[],"class_list":["post-33672","recipe","type-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","recipe-cuisine-beef","recipe-cuisine-beef-shin","recipe-cuisine-valentines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/33672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-course?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-cuisine?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-cooking-method","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-cooking-method?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-tag?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-key","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-key?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-badge?post=33672"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-dietary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluffmeatsupply.co.za\/touchscreen\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-dietary?post=33672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
