title: Spicy Garlic & Parmesan Slow-Cooked Beef Pasta
servings: 4
ingredients:
  - 500 g roasting beef joint
  - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  - 2 red onions, finely chopped
  - 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  - 8–9 baby tomatoes or 1 large tomato, finely chopped
  - 2 tbsp tomato purée
  - 1½ tbsp gochujang paste
  - 280 ml tomato passata
  - 1 tsp Italian-style herbs or mixed herbs
  - 3 bay leaves
  - 2 cups hot vegetable stock
  - 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  - Salt and black pepper, to taste
  - 60 g grated Parmesan
  - 240 g uncooked pasta (any shape)
instructions:
  - Cut the beef joint in the pot, then add olive oil and brown the beef, turning it with tongs.
  - Brown the beef, turning it with tongs.
  - Add the chopped onion and sauté; add gochujang paste and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  - Add garlic, then tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, and dried herbs, in that order.
  - Return the browned beef to the pot and stir it into the tomato mixture.
  - Pour in tomato passata, then vegetable stock, add a splash of dark liquid, and add bay leaves.
  - Cover the pot with its lid; the video shows the beef being checked with tongs after braising, but gives no time or cooking method.
  - Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the sauce, pour in cooking liquid, add cooked rigatoni, and stir pasta and sauce together.
  - Plate the pasta and sprinkle with chopped herbs and Parmesan.
