Overnight ragù

30/01/2017

I am all over quick, easy and tasty dinners. And this overnight ragù is an absolute winner.

You throw all the ingredients in the casserole, no pre-cooking required, and cook it on low in the oven overnight.

The result is a rich and tasty ragù which is perfect on these cold nights.

I cooked this dish for the first time last week and was a big hit in our house, so I urge you to give it a go…

Ingredients
800g braising/stewing steak (cut into small chunks)
1 onion (diced)
3 carrots (diced)
4 sticks celery (chopped)
2 glasses red wine
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp redcurrant jelly or cranberry sauce
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp mixed herbs
1 beef stock cube (dissolved in 100ml water)
2 dried bay leaves

Method
1. Set the oven to 120c.

2. Combine all the ingredients in a casserole dish. Give in a good stir and cover with a tight lid.

3. Cook overnight in the oven for 9hrs.

4. In the morning, check the seasoning and add salt and pepper as required. Leave on the side during the day (the flavours will really intensify).Overnight ragù

5. Reheat that evening, ensuring the ragù is fully heated (to boiling point) throughout. If chunks of meat still remain, pull them apart with a fork.

6. Serve with pasta (tagliatelle or orzo) and a good shaving of Parmesan cheese.

What could be easier?

Overnight ragùIf you give this recipe a go, I’d love to know what you think. My son says it’s his 2nd favourite dinner, (after Carbonara!!!) It’s still such an achievement when the kids give my dinners a big thumbs up! ☺

I am always on the look out for quick dinners to add to my repertoire, so if you have any to share then please leave a comment below.

A fab source of family-friendly dishes is the Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy blog – I thoroughly recommend Clare’s easy-to-follow recipes. Click here to check it out.

Thanks for reading!

No problem Clare!
It really is yummy and the house smells amazing when you wake up and it’s been gently cooking overnight…

My husband turned the oven off when he came in from a night out. Expletives were shared!

Mm, definitely going to try this. My two are pasta obsessed and seeing as I’m currently sat watching them not eat the fresh salmon, sweet potato mash and veg I lovingly made them, something else they will eat would be great!

It’s very rich Marion… you may have to add something to tone it down for your littl’uns… maybe creme fraiche???

It looks tasty, I am definitely going to give it a try ?

Louise 31/01/2017 at 12:13 pm

I’m going to try it too. My son’s current favourite also Carbonara.

Club Forty 31/01/2017 at 5:37 pm

I love Carbonara too… but it’s a ‘treat’ dinner! All that cream,,,,!!!!

Louise 01/02/2017 at 5:56 pm

Try the lean in 15 Turkey and bacon one with creme fraiche

All ready in the oven to go. Looking forward to this for tomorrow’s dinner. Very easy (so far). ?

This skirt was the best £7 I ever spent!!! I found it on the sale rail my local @hm back in 2017!!!! I even questioned whether to buy it or not as I wasn’t sure I’d wear it enough 🤦‍♀️ But thankfully common sense prevailed!!!

I was a regular in Columbia Road on a Sunday when, I was a regular in Columbia Road on a Sunday when, back in the day, I lived at the top end of Brick Lane. My Sundays were either spent mooching around the flower stalls or on wilder weekends I’d be still out-out in The Royal Oak pub!!! 🥴

My hubby & I almost bought our first flat in Columbia Rd but an opportunity to work in America came about instead…

The reason I’m reminiscing is because this dress is named after the famous east london street 🥰 

I haven’t been for ages so I must plan a visit very soon…

Not saving things for best ✨ I’m always telli Not saving things for best ✨

I’m always telling my clients that if they love a piece of clothing, they should wear it - often! This goes for statement pieces too. And this is so easy to do now that we have this more liberated fashion sense of ‘anything goes’ 🙌

It’s so easy to dress things down and it doesn’t look out of place - if you are struggling with this concept it’s just your mindset that needs changing!

This fabulous, frivolous, ruffle skirt is a delight to wear and whilst it looks amazing dressed up for a special occasion, I like it equally as much with a pair of trainers and a knit. 

This way it gets so much more wear - and it deserves to be worn!!! 💗

See my Hope Fashion Story Highlight for more ways I’m styling this skirt with basics from my wardrobe 🥰
