As Marco always advocates, think about what you’re doing. There’s always a reason. Sometimes you don’t even know why, but it just works. I.e, prior to finding out grating vegetables or cutting them finely enables them to dissolve and get absorbed into the evaporated meat, fusing the flavours and intensifies them. Whatever the method, it is the cook’s way of cooking. Unless it tastes awful, it’s not wrong, just different.

Maybe to someone that doesn’t actually cook. He’s literally just regurgitating base level knowledge, half of which is objectively incorrect. Like cooking onions to reduce the acidity. That is entirely just some shit he made up. Onions aren’t particularly acidic lol. You don’t cook carrots to reduce water content and bring out sweetness, they’re already sweet. You cook carrots because the texture of raw carrot in a cooked dish sucks, along with just adding a broader base of flavor (what we use aromatics for in general). Root vegetables don’t even contain much water relative to other vegetables. Literally half the crap he says is either wrong or is using actual toddler logic. Even just things like saying the sizzle sound of browning beef comes when the fat has rendered. Incorrect, this ironically enough is because of the reduced water content from cooking, as when there’s significantly more fat than water what happens? That’s right, you get a nice sizzle because you’ve transitioned to the point of basically frying. Knowing what you’re doing and knowing why you’re doing it are 2 very different things. Rant over, and I apologize for making you the target of it 😂

[@dubot4076]

Celery carrots onion, white wine, full milk and beef stock. No tomatoes.

[@Arkanses]

Recipe: Marco Pierre White's Ragù Bolognese Ingredients: 1 onion, grated 2 carrots, grated 2 celery stalks, grated 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1.5 pounds (700g) dry-aged beef, minced Olive oil Fresh thyme sprigs 1 cup red wine (optional) 2 cups passata (or chopped tomatoes) Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Step 1: Grate and Prepare Vegetables Begin by grating the onion, carrots, and celery. The grating helps these vegetables dissolve into the sauce as it cooks. Heat a large, oven-safe pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the grated vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, to remove their moisture and intensify their flavors. This may take some time, so be patient. Step 2: Cook the Beef Push the cooked vegetables to the sides of the pan to create space in the center. Add the minced dry-aged beef to the center of the pan. Allow the beef to release its water content and let it evaporate. Then, start breaking up the beef and let it caramelize for a rich flavor. Continue cooking without moving the pan too much to avoid boiling the meat. This step is crucial for flavor development. Step 3: Drain Excess Fat Once the beef is well-browned and the moisture has evaporated, drain excess fat by tilting the pan and carefully pouring it off. You can save this fat for later use. Transfer the beef to a separate bowl. Step 4: Deglaze with Red Wine (Optional) If using red wine, pour it into the pan to deglaze, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom. Reduce the wine by 90% to remove acidity and alcohol while intensifying the flavor. Step 5: Add Passata (or Chopped Tomatoes) Return the cooked beef to the pan. Pour in the passata (or chopped tomatoes) and stir to combine. Simmer the sauce and bring it to a gentle boil. Step 6: Cartouche and Oven Cooking To reduce evaporation during cooking, make a Cartouche: Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the pan's diameter and place it directly on the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid. Preheat your oven to 140°C (285°F). Place the covered pan in the oven and let it cook for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. This slow cooking helps the flavors meld and mature. Step 7: Final Touches After oven cooking, remove the pan and carefully lift off the Cartouche. Taste the ragù and season with salt and pepper as needed. Step 8: Serve and Enjoy Your Marco Pierre White-inspired Ragù Bolognese is ready to serve. It's even better if allowed to rest and mature for a few days before serving. Enjoy this classic Italian sauce with your favorite pasta, and savor the rich flavors developed through this meticulous cooking process.

[@mechanicalman1068]

Maybe it’s his delivery, but I want to call him a pretentious pedantic ass, but I just can’t. He’s right about everything. I’m a very good cook, not a pro, but I am a professional finish carpenter and a damn good one. The thinking is the same and this is my mantra for carpentry and cooking: understanding, care and attention. It would take an entire book to define what those three words mean in this context, but if you get it and can implement it, whatever you do will be excellent. As a side note, this is quite different from how I learned to cook bolognese from my Italian family and also different from most recipes. I’m obviously not calling his cooking in to question and I’m not an authority, but I’m not sure this is the typical way of cooking it. I’ve never seen rhyme or bay leaf used, and there’s almost always an addition of milk after the wine reduces, which is reduced prior to addition of tomato. Also, some tomato paste added to the meat and incorporated and browned prior to addition of liquids.

[@InnuendoXP]

He learned his manner of speaking from mixing with the upper class of England. In such a deeply classist society, it's a behaviour many people had to adopt to be taken seriously as a professional at a high level a generation or two ago. It does make you sound pretentious, because high society is full of pretentious people. But it gives you enough of an air of authority with enough people that it's professionally useful to do it. His success from the media was certainly helped by it. If he'd stuck to his native working class northern Leeds accent, he wouldn't have been nearly as successful as a character to put on television in the UK in the era he came to prominence. As for the recipe method, even in bologna there is no agreed orthodoxy. Pan-roasting the tomato paste will give you a roasted tomato flavour. Using passata will give you a more fresh & sweet tomato flavour. Combining both will give you both. Milk is discretionary, you can also use a small amount of cream or finish with a small amount of butter, the point is to contribute a little flavour & sweetness of milk fat, but that's not mandatory, some Italians believe it has a tenderising effect on the meat but I've never found this to be the case, the dairy fat probably just softens the mouthfeel, a lot of classically-minded people will do post-hoc rationalisation of why things are done where they'll just invent the 'why' after learning the 'how' & liking the outcome even if they don't really understand what they are doing. As for thyme & bay leaf, I've seen it used by Italians, but that might be more of a restaurant practice than a home cooking practice.

traditional bolognese sauce isnt that amazing. I'm sorry, but everyone becomes obsessed with how the original italian recipes were written, yet fail to remember they were the starting point. They can easily be improved.

@@moon-kg4wb though I can understand the perspective that you should learn to do what the original recipe does, to make the fundamentals as good as they can be. Then you can modify it to your preference, and the result will probably be better than it would've been otherwise.

The amount of philosophical questions that should be answered in this video is far beyond one man's life. The recipe is great, but I do have a few questions, since Marco adviced to question everything: 1) Why remove fats from fried meat? Why meat has to be so dry? 2) Why use only beef and not add pork minced meat? Beef is quite low in fat, and fats from pork should be balancing dry beef.

re: 1. because the beef fat & flavour can over-dominate the flavour & texture of the lean meat, vegetables & olive oil, too much fat prevents an effective smooth emulsion when it comes time to combining the ragu with the pasta when using it as a sauce, the oils in the sauce can split & the mouthfeel will be more greasy than velvety, or be so rich as to be overwhelming even if you are successful in forming an emulsion, for a similar reason when making carbonara, you don't want to retain 'all' of the guanciale fat otherwise it will feel like you are eating pasta coated in smoked pork hollandaise - good for a sandwich perhaps, but I don't want to eat a plate of pasta covered in the stuff, so it's a balancing exercise. The meat is only 'dry' in the sense that it has been browned, caramelisation has occurred which intensifies the flavour of the lean meat. After a long gentle braise, the meat will be silky & tender, not tough & dry. There is enough fat remaining in the meat after draining to contribute the right amount of beef oil & flavour to everything else going on, gravity won't drain the meat completely, you'd need a temperature-controlled centrifuge to do that. You only need the higher amount of fat at the start because beef fried in its own fat tastes much nicer than beef fried in other oils. 2. you can absolutely use pork mince as a combination, you can use only pork, or only beef as well, all are perfectly acceptable variation. The classic original bolognaise was defined by whichever meat was more economical at the time, as it's not supposed to be an expensive dish. As for how much fat there is in the meat, that depends on what you're grinding, the lean/fat composition can vary hugely depending on the cut, the breed, how the animal was raised, whether you're adding fat from fat cap layers or not .etc. You can grind beef brisket with a fat cap & get a 50% fat composition, but that's far beyond the point where it benefits what you're doing. Again, beef isn't dry, but pork has a higher gelatin content & generally weaker muscle fibres, so it will soften more. The characteristics are different but done correctly, beef will not be dry at all.

@@InnuendoXP I was not expecting such deep and well thought answer! In fact, I wasnt expecting an answer at all. Thank you!

Love mpw. An absolute maestro but simplifies cooking and doesn't gatekeep.

I love that my recipe and method that I came up with is nearly the same as Marco's. He gives advice and I think yes I noticed that. Wish I could have worked with him. I take the beef further so its really brown, I also add stock and cook for longer, makes it meatier.
