About Tomato and beef ragu

Tomato and Beef Ragu is a hearty Italian-inspired dish made with tender ground beef, slow-simmered tomatoes, aromatic garlic, onions, and herbs like basil and oregano. Its rich flavor comes from a blend of olive oil and the natural sweetness of tomatoes, enhanced by a splash of red wine or broth for depth. Often served over pasta or polenta, this comforting meal provides a good source of protein from the beef and vitamins like lycopene from the tomatoes. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while vegetables contribute fiber and micronutrients. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat depending on preparation. Opting for lean ground beef and controlling added salt and oil can make the dish healthier. Tomato and Beef Ragu exemplifies Mediterranean flavors and balances indulgence with nourishment for a satisfying dining experience.
