Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the onions, garlic, bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Return the beef to the skillet. Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, red wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. In a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring the polenta for about 15-20 minutes until thickened.
6. Stir in Parmesan cheese, milk, and butter until well combined.
7. To serve, spoon creamy polenta into bowls and top with the slow-cooked beef ragù.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Special Tips or Variations:
- For a twist, you can add some dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the beef ragù while it simmers for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother polenta, you can use a finer cornmeal or add more milk for a creamier texture.
