- Heat the oil in a large pot then add the Minced Steak and sear for 5-6 minutes.
- Add the vegetables, garlic and tomato purée then sauté for a further five minutes, stirring continuously.
- Deglaze with the wine or beef stock and add the tin of tomatoes, bay leaf and clove.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 20-30 minutes until nearly all the liquid has evaporated.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Use to lightly dress freshly boiled and drained spaghetti, tagliatelle, or pappardelle, sprinkling with chopped parsley and freshly grated parmesan.
For an extra tasty twist, add 3-4 rashers of chopped dry-cured Smoked Streaky Bacon to the pot at the same time as you do the mince. This twist will in fact bring your finished Bolognese closer to the original Italian recipe from Bologna, where pancetta was traditionally included with the beef.
