Ingredients:
1/2 pound veal, cut into chunks
1/2 pound beef chuck, cut into chunks
1 onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup red wine
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled san marzano tomatoes and juices, passed through a food mill
1/2 pound sweet italian sausages
1 teaspoon salt
pinch hot chile flakes
Directions:
1. In a large pasta pot or Dutch oven, combine the veal, beef, onion and oil over high heat and cook until meat is seared on all sides and meat juices have evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until wine evaporates and meat is darker brown, about 5 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and remove meat from ragu. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
