Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat the canola oil. Add the beef and brown evenly for about 5 minutes per side. Cook the beef in batches instead of over crowding the pot. Set all the browned meat aside. 
  2. To the same pot add carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft then add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce before cooking for 3 minutes before returning the meat to the pot, covering the meat with the sauce.
  3. Cover the meat and ingredients with water before placing the lid on and slowly cooking the dish in the oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the meat is falling from the bone. Remove any bones from the dish before lightly shredding the meat. 
  4. Add the cooked and still warm rigatoni pasta to the hot beef and toss through the sauce. 
  5. Serve with fresh parsley a grating of Parmesan and extra salt and freshly ground black pepper.
