Stewing beef gives rich flavour to this slowly cooked sauce. Small pieces braise in an hour, while larger chunks can simmer longer in a slow-cooker. Serve with penne or rigatoni, hot pepper flakes and rapini.

Ingredients
Method
Trim fat from beef cubes; cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. In Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil over medium-high heat; brown beef, in batches. Transfer to plate; set aside.
Drain any fat from pan. Add onion, rosemary and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper; cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 minutes.
Add tomatoes, vinegar and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water to pan. Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until thickened and meat is tender, about 1 hour. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
