Taste of Corsica: Mouthwatering Beef Ragout Recipe

[@johnlopez9014]

I spent 10 years in calvi with the legion, the corsicans are strange but me being irish I was always greeted with 'oh fellow islander!' theyre a good bunch

Here is a Tip. Use the lid of the pan turned upside down to place your browned meat. It holds all the juices and ends up back in the pan. One less plate to wash. nice recipe, can't wait to try it, we are right at the very end of braising season where I live.

[@andiflanagan125]

Holy smokes! What a killer dish! I'll be making this with Moose, and using the Boletes I dried last summer. Wow!

[@franciet99]

Moose?!? Wow! Where do you live? Canada? What is it similar to? I’ve had elk and loved it.

[@daphnepearce9411]

Why oh why didn't I watch this video before going to the grocery store? I must say I'm really impressed! This looks truly phenomenal. I've got to make this, back to the store for me! Thanks Stephane!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

it is worth it 🙂😋😋

[@daphnepearce9411]

@French Cooking Academy Yup. I'm making this this weekend with a nice bottle of red wine and bread. Also, fyi I never heard of passata and found out that in the states its also known as tomato puree, which I happen to have in my pantry. 😀

That most famous of "Frenchmen" Napoleone Buonaparte was born in Ajaccio, Corsica. Maybe he enjoyed this too? It's a beautiful dish, the only addition I'd make to your serving is some good crusty buttered bread to mop up any sauce left in the bowl. 😋 Speaking of "last meals" this would make a good stand in for my long term favourite which is beef & mushroom stroganoff with slippery, wide buttered papardelle noodles. All with a healthy crack of pepper over the top. My idea of heaven. Both of these dishes are so satisfying to eat. I've also had a version of this made with wild boar meat which was excellent. Many thanks for reminding of this recipe, will be making it again soon.

I think I might be Corsican. The cinnamon got me, I do that all the time.

[@kristofferholst6053]

Just did this and it was a great success. Used what I had, so the wine was Pinot blanc and the cognac was a Spanish brandy, bacon was pancetta and onions was shallots. For pasta I used paccheri rigati and I also added a little piment d'espelette just a touch. The dish came out great and everyone was happy. This is the 4th of your dishes I’ve made and so far it’s 4/4 in terms of satisfaction

[@lwest5686]

Of course it will be delicious but i think its your passionate intoxication that sells it just as much. Thank you for this inspiration. Cheers from Canada

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Corsica reminds me of Asterix in Corsica! The way Asterix, Obelix and Ideefix (Dogmatic in English) react to the smell of typical Corsican cheese is priceless! Also, when the Corsican guy cuts the cheese, you can see the worms jumping off the path of the knife. 🤣

[@Moonpearl121]

Also in Piemonte we do the same, cook your arrosto, (a beef pot roast in effect) - use the sauce to dress pasta - then eat the meat as a 'secondo' with vegetables. In fact, there is also a tradition in the UK, with making roast beef and gravy, but you serve the gravy first with Yorkshire Pudding, and then the meat and vegetables. Easy way to fill up working men or hungry teenagers, and make the meat go further.

What an interesting and delicious looking dish. You brought me back in time. My Mother used to lard the beef when making a bourguignon, but the old fashioned way. Your method makes much more sense. I really look forward to trying this.

[@brusselssprouts560]

Maybe a small red chilli in while it braises, and some chopped parsley and a little ev olive oil as extra garnish. It is similar to a Provençale style lamb ragout recipe I have. Simple food that tastes beautiful.

[@tangoelcorte]

You make it look so yummy!

I wonder if napoleon ate this while exiled there

[@SamsonGuest]

Who knows maybe he grew up eating it.

He wasn’t exiled in Corsica, he was born there.

Elba...my bad, jeeze

[@Getpojke]

​@@nonservitiumEasy mistake to make, it was St. Helena that he was exiled too. Where they reckon the arsenic in the wallpaper helped speed his demise due to the damp climate.

[@callumloughran2911]

He was born in Corsica and exiled to both of those Islands before mentioned. He was also ethnically Italian and came from a minor noble family in french terms, but his fam were big shot Italian Corsicans. I imagine a Ragu was a staple in their home growing up but who really knows.

[@cyndifoore7743]

Looks delicious, thank you.

[@loydevan1311]

Great recipe and it only took you 13 minutes to sell it! To make it my own, I would add a pound of browned, ground pork. I love the Mire quix. Julianna carrots 🥕 & celery added. For the Cajun touch, green, red, yellow peppers. Saute. ThxU for your recipe. Subscribing.

I have actually made a few of yr recipes now ...they have all been delicious..👍

[@gabrieleangelocalvillo3364]

I see a lot of Genoese influence on this dish. : The use of whole meat, stuffed with garlic and fat and not not minced, the base veggies, the use of mushrooms (I guss corsican do use dried Porcinis) and the cooking tech, is not so different from the Genoese Tuccu, we use for our Ravioli and taggen (Taglierini) from green Pasta. Btw Corse was under Genoese rule up to the 18th century , and there is a genoese speaking small community in Bonifaziu. Very nice recipe, Thanks

[@barbaralongmire1220]

[@minotaur818]

I'm curious if the Corsican method of stuffing the meat with garlic and lardon is inspired by Italian braciole, or vice versa.

[@rahelehmohammadi722]

Perfect

[@jaimemontilla3875]

Stéphane, I am preparing this dish and noticed the written recipe you skipped the onion.. How much onion do you use? On the video you show two yellow onions but don't know if you used them both.

[@NimrodTargaryen]

He is so funny🎉❤😅

[@The_Argent]

One thing that i think would improve this would be to make a little more sauce, remove you pasta from the water 3 minutes before its al dente, add the pasta to the sauce along with a glass of the pasta cooking water and finish cooking the pasta in the sauce. This lets the pasta absorb the sauce and the excess starch will help emulsify and thicken the sauce.

[@gastropod557]

Okay, I obvisously didn't drown in saliva (my own, that is)...but I did go to the market and get a few things to make this dish. A couple of friends dropped by just as I was taking the pan out of the oven. "Incredible" said one. An "Oral explosion of taste", said another. I was too busy chewing to reply. There was only one problem. One very significant and troubling problem...there weren't any leftovers! A delicious, satisfying, and rather easy dish. Don't delay...make it today!

You couldn't find lardons, and you couldn't find the pasta you wanted - it's bringing back memories of Covid times... Regardless of substituted ingredients (we all have to be flexible sometimes) this looked delicious. I'll definitely try this next time instead of my usual pasta Genovese.

I'm not a fan of the pressure cooker. Taking your time with a slow cooking process will always produce superior flavours.

@@motosnape Under pressure water boil at higher temperatures keeping the moisture and flavour inside. Simple physics. On the other hand shorter cooking times means less electricity or gas.
