- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.

This ragù is a great way to use up leftover pot roast and vegetables. Serve it over pasta or polenta for a hearty meal. If you don’t have red wine, you can substitute beef broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
