Beef Ragu Pappardelle Recipe Tips
Cut your beef roast into 4 pieces. This will help the beef become more tender.You can use any kind of pasta you like, but pappardelle is perfect for pairing with beef ragu. A pasta that holds up to a heavy sauce well works best.Chuck roast, or another type of pot roast cut of beef, could also be used to make beef ragu.If you don’t have red wine, you could use more beef stock in place of the wine. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.I recommend using whole milk, but you can also use half & half if you prefer. Heavy cream would change the consistency of the sauce.
Storing Leftover Beef Ragu
Store beef ragu in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Alternatively, place it in the freezer in a freezer-safe container once cooled, and freeze for up to 3 months. Make sure to label with the date.
