Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large saucepan over high heat, warm the olive oil
  • Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned, 6-8 minutes
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes more (be careful not to burn it)
  • Reduce heat to medium, add the tomato paste, and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes
  • Add the broth, wine, vinegar, thyme, bay leaves, and pepper.
  • Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes
  • Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a medium saucepan, pressing down on the solids with the back of a spoon
  • Continue to simmer until about 1/2 cup liquid remains, about 45 minutes more
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste
  • Cover and keep warm until ready to drizzle over the meat.
