Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic (grated)
- 1 medium carrot (diced)
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 tablespoon rosemary minced, fresh
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup merlot Captûre brand
- 2 cups beef stock or chicken stock
- 32 ounces whole peeled tomatoes
- pinch red chili flakes
- Romano cheese optional garnish, fresh basil
- basil optional garnish, fresh basil
- pasta optional, to serve, cooked
Instructions
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Stir in onions, garlic and carrots along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until veggies are tender, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add sirloin to the pan along with a pinch of salt and pepper then begin breaking up with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle in the rosemary and oregano then continue cooking until beef is browned almost to the point of forming a crust.
- Stir in tomato paste and heat until fragrant, about 45 seconds before stirring in the Captûre Merlot to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add broth to the pan and stir well then add in the whole peeled tomatoes. Using scissors, carefully begin breaking down the tomatoes in to bite-sized chunks. Bring pan to a boil then reduce heat to low. Season with a pinch more salt and pepper then simmer for 20 minutes before serving over cooked pasta. Garnish with cheese and basil if you wish. Serve over pasta if you wish.
