Method
- Cut the beef into 3 cm cubes and season with 5 g of salt and the pepper. Heat 30 ml of olive oil in a wide saucepan and brown the beef in two batches, for about 8 minutes in total. Set aside.
- Chop the onions. Add to the pan with the remaining 10 ml of olive oil and soften for 5 minutes. Add the tomato pulp and stir for 2 minutes.
- Return the beef and add 500 ml of hot water. Cover and simmer gently for 60 to 75 minutes, until tender. Add another 100 ml of hot water if needed.
- During the last 15 minutes, bring 4 litres of water to the boil with the remaining 10 g of salt. Cook the penne for the time on the packet, about 10 to 12 minutes, and drain.
- Serve the beef with the pasta and sauce.
Shopping tip
Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer. Stewing beef needs time to become tender.
