Method
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Finely chop the onion, then fry over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until soft but not coloured. Crush in the garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
- Season the beef. Turn the heat up, then add the beef to the pan and cook, stirring, until lightly browned all over. Add the tomatoes, vinegar and a pinch of sugar (optional), then simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the ragù has reduced and thickened, stir in a good drizzle of oil, then taste and season if necessary. Serve tossed with cooked pasta, topped with grated parmesan and fresh basil leaves.
