Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 900g beef chuck (casserole) steak, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 x Mutti Polpa Finely Chopped Tomatoes 400g
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • 44.40 gm tomato paste
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar

  • 40.00 ml finely chopped fresh basil
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 x 625g pkt veal tortellini
  • 20g (1/4 cup) finely grated parmesan
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook one-third of the beef in the heated oil, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until evenly browned. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef in two more batches, reheating the pan between each batch.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic in the pan for 3 minutes until the onion softens. Mix in the beef, tomato, water, tomato paste, and sugar, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours until beef is tender. Uncover and cook for 15-20 minutes until sauce slightly thickens. Stir in parsley and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the tortellini in a large saucepan of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, then drain well.
  • Combine the tortellini with the beef mixture, stir well, sprinkle with parmesan, and serve hot.
