Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, add pancetta. Cook until golden and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes.
- To the pan, add chopped carrots, celery, onion, fennel, and garlic. Sauté for about 10-15 minutes until it starts to get caramelized.
- While the veggies are cooking, combine meat with Caputo “00” Chef's Flour and toss to coat.
- Place meat on a sheet tray with enough room so it does not steam and place under the broiler for 5-7 minutes. Flip all the meat and broil for another 5-7 minutes. This process can also be done in a pan to sear all the meat. Once the meat is golden, remove it from the broiler and set it aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To the veggies, add Dijon mustard, one 28 oz can of Ciao Authentica Crushed Tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, red wine, beef stock, and herbs.
- Add all the meat and the juices to the pot from the sheet tray. Cover and bake for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, add peeled and diced potatoes and mix to combine; cook for another 45 minutes to 1 hour uncovered.
- Garnish with parsley to serve and enjoy!
