|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 celery stalkfinely chopped | Cook the celery and onion over medium-low for 5–7m, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add oil only if the pot looks dry. | Increase to medium-high. Brown the beef for 10–15m, breaking it apart, until its liquid evaporates and browned edges develop. Use two batches if the pot is small. | Add the wine, scrape up browned pieces, and cook for 3–5m until mostly evaporated. | Stir in both jars of sauce base. Add water to each empty jar, shake, and pour into the pot. | Add the bay leaf and rosemary. | Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook partially covered over low heat for 30–45m, stirring occasionally; simmer up to 60m for deeper flavour. Add water if too thick. | Taste near the end. Add milk for a softer flavour, then simmer gently for 10–15m. Remove the herbs, add black pepper, and taste before adding salt. |
