Cowboy Style Beef Ragout

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sometimes, you just need comfort food. And what is more comforting than a thick tomato meat sauce over polenta, or Cowboy Style Beef Ragout?

Cowboy-Style Beef Ragout

This recipe adapted from Cooking Light is reminiscent of Sloppy Joe’s, but is a bit more grown up.

Cowboy-Style Beef Ragout

I made a batch of this for my husband to thaw and eat on nights that I work late. Just heat and serve over polenta or egg noodles.

Cowboy-Style Beef Ragout

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound 90% lean ground sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 sliced green onions, white and green parts divided
  • 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
  • 3 cups strained tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

 

Combine chicken stock and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high. Add beef and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to crumble.

img_5890img_5891

Stir in Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and white parts of green onions. Cook for 2 minutes.

img_5892

Remove mixture from pan using a slotted spoon (you want to keep some of the drippings still in the saute pan). Add the pearl onions to pan and cook 2 minutes.

img_5893

Add the tomatoes and ketchup, and cook for 3 minutes.

img_5894

Stir in cornstarch mixture, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook 3 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in beef mixture and green parts of green onions. Sprinkle with chives.

Serve over polenta.

Cowboy-Style Beef Ragout

This is a simple family-friendly recipe. However, if you have kids, I’d suggest finely cutting up the onions (or use shallots instead) because it’s a safe assumption most kids won’t be thrilled with large onions in their meal.

Cowboy-Style Beef Ragout

This recipe could also handle some diced carrots or some bell peppers sauteed with the onions to some veggies to the mix.
