About Beef brisket ragu

Beef Brisket Ragu is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, known for its slow-cooked richness and depth. This ragu combines tender, shredded beef brisket with a robust tomato-based sauce, enhanced by aromatics like garlic, onions, and herbs, often paired with pasta or polenta. The brisket’s extended cooking time allows the meat to become exceptionally soft and flavorful, providing a satisfying protein source. While brisket is higher in fat compared to leaner cuts of beef, much of its richness comes from healthy unsaturated fats, especially when trimmed properly. The tomatoes in the sauce contribute antioxidants like lycopene, while herbs like oregano and basil offer additional anti-inflammatory properties. However, the dish can be calorically dense and high in sodium depending on preparation, making portion control essential. For a lighter adaptation, leaner proteins or whole-grain accompaniments can be incorporated.
