See RecipeFor slow-cooked sauces and stews, chuck or brisket cuts are ideal as they become tender over long cooking periods. For meatballs or meatloaf, a mix of ground beef and pork or veal adds flavor and juiciness.
Use a binding agent like breadcrumbs combined with eggs, and be sure not to overmix the meat. Chill the meatballs before cooking to help them retain their shape.
Building layers of flavor by sautéing onions, carrots, and celery (a sofrito) before adding meat, and simmering the sauce slowly with tomatoes and herbs, is key to a rich and savory Bolognese.
Braciole should be seared first to lock in flavors and then slow-cooked in sauce for at least 1.5 to 2 hours until it's fork-tender.
Yes, many Italian beef dishes like lasagna, meatloaf, and meatballs can be prepared in advance and either refrigerated or frozen until you're ready to cook or reheat them.
