200 gr Classic mirepoix

750 lean ground beef

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, stir in the white wine and reduce the mixture until it’s nearly dry. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 1 and a half hour until the mixture has reduced and the flavors have concentrated.  Taste the sauce and add salt and/or pepper if needed. The sauce is ready to use. Enjoy!
