2 packet
Diced Beef
2 clove

1 packet
Soffritto Mix
1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
1 packet
tomato paste
1 sachet
beef-style stock powder
1 packet
Red Wine Jus
1 packet
orecchiette
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 bag
parsley
olive oil
1 tbs
plain flour
1 tsp
brown sugar
2.5 cup
water
• In large bowl, combine diced beef, the plain flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook diced beef in batches, turning occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: The flour will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour.
• Finely chop garlic. • Return the saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic, Aussie spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Return beef to the pan, then add beef-style stock powder, red wine jus, the brown sugar and water. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Reduce the heat to low and cover pan with lid (or tightly with foil). Simmer until beef is tender, 35-40 minutes. • When beef has 15 minutes remaining, add orecchiette and cover with a lid. • Simmer, stirring occasionally, until orecchiette is cooked through, 14-16 minutes.
TIP: If the ragu looks dry, add a splash of water.
• Divide one-pot beef ragu and orecchiette between bowls. • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley leaves to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
