Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1 yellow onion, chopped

6 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons harissa (Optional)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup dry red wine

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 bay leaf

1 pound pappardelle pasta, cooked and drained

grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Directions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Season chuck roast with pepper and 2 teaspoons salt. Sear meat until browned on every side, working in batches if necessary, about 10 minutes. Remove from Dutch oven and transfer to a large plate.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in onion. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in harissa and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until caramelized, about 2 minutes.

Pour in wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits, until reduced by two thirds, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, bay leaf, chuck roast, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, sauce has thickened, and flavors meld, about 2 1/2 hours.

Remove and discard bay leaf. Transfer meat from Dutch oven to a cutting board and shred using 2 forks. Return meat to pot and stir in pappardelle. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
