The slow cooking creates a melt in the mouth texture as the meat becomes very soft and very delicious.<\/p>\n
The ragu is best served stirred through tagliatelle pasta.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”-21px||||false|false” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredients Heading” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”18px” header_3_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Add the bacon and fry gently for 1-2 minutes until slightly browned. Add the onions, celery, carrots, garlic and bay leaves and fry gently on a medium heat for about 7 minutes until soft and the onions become translucent.<\/p>\n
Add the minced beef and stir until the beef no longer looks raw and pink.<\/p>\n
Add the milk, and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until the meat has absorbed the milk. Season with a good pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add the nutmeg and dried oregano.<\/p>\n
Add the tomato puree, pour in the wine, then add the tomatoes with their juice, and stir thoroughly.<\/p>\n
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and cook, uncovered, on a very low simmer (there should only be the occasional bubble) for 3 hours or more.<\/p>\n
Serve stirred through pasta and sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Minced-Beef.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” title_text=”Minced Beef” alt=”Beef Ragu recipe 2 \u2013 The Artisan Food Trail” sticky_enabled=”0″ align_phone=”center”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Food-Seasonality-Icons.jpg” alt=”Food Seasonality Icon” url=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/foods-in-season\/” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Food Seasonality Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Foods in Season text” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_3_font=”Arvo|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#853d01″ header_3_font_size=”17px” background_color=”rgba(112,191,227,0.27)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”13px|13px|9px|13px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/foods-in-season\/” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
