About Lean beef ragu

Lean Beef Ragu is a hearty, Italian-inspired dish featuring ground lean beef simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce with garlic, onions, and aromatic herbs like oregano and basil. Often served over pasta, spiralized zucchini, or polenta, this meal combines protein-packed beef with nutrient-rich tomatoes, which provide a hefty dose of vitamins A and C, along with antioxidant lycopene. By using lean beef, the dish is lower in saturated fat compared to traditional recipes that use fattier cuts of meat. Additional vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers can be included for extra fiber and nutrients. While delicious and satisfying, the ragu's sodium content can be a concern if canned tomatoes or pre-made stock are used, so opting for low-sodium ingredients is a healthier choice. Lean Beef Ragu balances robust flavor with nutritional benefits, making it a versatile and wholesome choice for a balanced meal.
