Ingredients

Tomato Meat Sauce

  • 3 EPIC® Wagyu Beef Steak Strips finely chopped
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • 1 Tbsp ghee
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • ½ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic optional
  • 1 can 15oz diced tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes*)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ¼ cup heavy cream or milk of choice

Pasta:

  • any cooked pasta you like! I cooked 1 bag frozen cauliflower gnocchi to serve with my sauce.

Instructions

  • Cut EPIC® Wagyu Beef Steak Strips into small pieces and add to ¾ cup boiling water. Cover and set aside.
  • Add ghee to deep pot over medium heat. Saute onion and bell pepper, seasoning to taste with salt. Cook 4-5 minutes.
  • Add garlic if desired and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in chopped beef strips and water, followed by canned tomatoes, dried parsley and cream or milk of choice. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 45-60 minutes*, stirring regularly until sauce thickens. (The longer you let it cook, the more flavorful it will be! Feel free to give it a mash with your spoon as it softens to help it integrate.)
  • Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
  • Yields ~3 cups sauce.

Notes

*For those who prefer a quick-and-convenient sauce instead of slow-simmered, use crushed tomatoes for a faster cook time of ~20 minutes.
