Yesterday I made my homemade sauce with beef cubes. (Simple explanation. Freezer broke so I had to use some items. One being beef stew meat).

I never had done this before and the meat and sauce were quite delicious.

It was approximately 1 lb. lean beautiful beef.

I browned the meat in a pot on top of stove with a small thinly sliced onion in olive oil. After the both were lightly browned I added 2 generous (Large)cloves of garlic sliced very thin. ( I usually use my garlic mincer).

I cooked everything a little longer ( I didn’t drain the meat because it was super lean)and then added all to my crockpot along with 1 large 28 oz. can Tuttorosso crushed tomatoes and 1-15 oz can organic tomato sauce , 1 tsp. Dried basil, and a little extra salt and pepper.

We were busy all day so it cooked from 9 am until about 5 on low. The meat was tender and the sauce was awesome. Every crockpot is different so you should check the meat periodically for tenderness.

I cooked 1 lb. small rigatoni (Delallo brand)until a’dente. We don’t care for overcooked pasta.

Here’s a picture of the sauce and what was left of the pasta. I did separate some plain to make a quick alfredo sauce just in case. Note: the red sauce was so awesome I should have used all the pasta with the red.

House smelled great and of course don’t forget the Pecorino!!!
