Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Ragu
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, and red wine vinegar to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Return the beef to the pot, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 2 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
Cook the Pasta
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 4-5 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of pasta water. Set aside.
Combine and Serve
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- To serve, place the cooked pappardelle on plates, top with the beef ragu, and garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the ragu while it simmers. This dish is even better the next day, so feel free to make it in advance!
