Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup (64 grams) onion finely chopped
  • ¾ cup (80 grams carrot) peeled and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (35 grams) celery finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound (453 grams) ground beef
  • ½ pound (226 grams) mild Italian sausage meat
  • 1 ½ tablespoons flour
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 4 sage leaves chopped
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 ½ cups (400 ml) beef stock/broth

Instructions

  • To a high-sided sauté, pan add the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, carrot and celery and a little of the salt. Cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high, add the beef and sausage and rest of the salt. Cook, breaking up the meat until lightly browned. Add the garlic, rosemary and sage, cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to mix well. Cook for a minute.
  • Add the wine and cook until it starts to evaporate. Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes until thickened but still a little saucy. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed (this will depend on how salty your stock/broth is).
