How to Make a Simple Meat Sauce Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (How to Make a Simple Meat Sauce Recipe). This super-easy braised beef pasta sauce is similar to regular ground meat sauces, but instead of ground beef, it uses freshly cubed beef as the base. The advantages are obvious and quite delicious. Using this method, you get to choose the cut you like; I used top round, but rump roast or chuck steak would be just as good. You can also control the fat content.
