Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 slice beef shank or chuck roast 1-inch thick
- 2 lbs pork spareribs
- 2 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 cloves garlic
- 84 oz San Marzano Tomatoes · (3 – 28 oz. cans)
- 1.5 cups red wine divided
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup Freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano Cheese
- 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley chopped
- 2 tsp salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F/220⁰C.
- Dice onion, chop garlic and parsley; grate cheese. Crush tomatoes. Set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to roasting pan, along with beef, pork and chicken, flipping meats to coat in oil. Roast until nicely browned, 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
- Heat remaining oil in large stock pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions, cooking until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic, stirring until fragrant, about one minute.
- Add tomatoes, one cup of the wine, water and tomato paste. Give a stir, then add in all meats to sauce.
- De-glaze roasting pan with remaining red wine, scraping any browned bits. Add mixture to sauce, along with cheese,parsley, salt and red pepper flakes, mixing to combine.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for approximately 4 hours, or until sauce has reduced and thickened, and meats are falling-off-the-bone tender.
- Discard bones. Remove meats to a separate serving dish. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Notes
You can substitute the red wine for water or white wine, if desired.
If your sauce is too thick, add liquid to thin out; if it is too watery after 4 hours, continue to simmer until it reaches the desired consistency.
