How to Make Beef Ragout On Polenta

1. Dice 1 large onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 carrots into ½-inch pieces.
2. In a 4-6 quart slow cooker, layer the diced onion, bell pepper, and carrots.
3. Add 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes).
4. Season generously with salt and black pepper (to taste).
5. Pour in 24 oz of your favorite pasta sauce (marinara recommended).
6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
7. While the beef is cooking, prepare the polenta according to package directions. Typically this involves bringing water or broth to a boil, then slowly whisking in polenta until creamy.
8. Once the beef ragout is cooked, serve it generously over a scoop of creamy polenta. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
9. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread or cornbread/muffins if desired!
