Directions

Step one
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery to pan and cook until vegetables are very tender, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic and tomato paste and continue cooking until tomato paste starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Boil until pan is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
-
Step two
Pour in beef broth, undrained tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, Parmesan rind, salt, and pepper and cook until vegetables are soft, and most of the liquid has evaporated off to make a thick sauce. Remove and discard thyme sprig, bay leaf, and any remaining Parmesan rind.
-
Step three
Stir in cooked beef and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. Add hot cooked pasta to your brisket ragu and toss to coat or spoon over hot Polenta and serve!
