Grass-fed Beef over Roasted Potatoes
Usually a nice bolognese meat sauce is paired with pasta. This version is a little more heartier and a gluten-free option with crispy roasted potatoes.
1 lb grass-fed beef
1 onion, julienned
1, 28oz can whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 quart fingerling potatoes
Resinous herbs of choice including thyme, rosemary and or marjoram, chopped up
chives, finely sliced
Heat oven to 400˚F.
Spread potatoes on a sheet pan and toss with avocado oil, salt, pepper and resinous herbs.
In a dutch over or stockpot, sauté the onions until caramelized over low heat.
Increase heat and add beef. Cut up using a wooden spoon. You want the beef to be a minced texture instead of big hunks.
Continue to cook the beef until lightly brown on all sides. Scrape the bottom of the pan if there is a fond, which is the flavorful bits that stick to the pan.
Add the tomatoes and crush using a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
Put the potatoes in the oven and roast until crisped and browned about 25-30 minutes.
Serve the meat sauce over the potatoes and top with chives.
Serve this dish with a raw lemony Brussel sprout salad.
