Ingredients:

Tools:

Directions:

1. Sear:

1.1. Preheat a large pot on medium-high heat with ¼ cup of frying oil and add:

1 medium onion – cut into large pieces with the skin on
3 carrots – cut into large pieces with the skin on
3 celery ribs – cut into large pieces
4 cloves of garlic – crushed with the skin on

Sear with occasional stirring until a nice sear is reached (about 3 – 4 minutes).

2. Boiling:

2.1. Add:

12 cups of beef stock
1 cup of tomato paste
2 ½ cups of red wine
1 sprig of rosemary
1 TBSP of pepper – whole
6 bay leaves
½ TSP of ground Allspice
¼ TSP of salt

Briefly stir and bring to a boil with occasional stirring.

2.2.

Lower heat to medium and let boil for about 60 minutes with occasional stirring.

3. Finishing phase:

3.1.

Pour sauce over the strainer into another pot to remove vegetables and herbs.

3.2. Place the pot on high heat and cook with occasional stirring until reduced to ¼ (about 20 – 30 minutes, may take longer, do not give up until thickness is right). The final sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon.

Tip:
If necessary, extend the cooking time to reach this result.

3.3.

Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot or cold.
