Just Google Beef Ragout...its a kind of beef stew
shareMy grandmother used to make it. It's just a pot roast (chuck roast) cooked until the meat can be pulled off with a fork.
Then the make a ragu (sauce or gravy) with the meat in it.
We used to take the ragu and ladle it on mashed potatoes or make open face sandwiches.

It's French - the "a" in "ragout" is supposed to have a circumflex over it.
"Don't call me 'honey', mac."
"Don't call me 'mac'... HONEY!"
Close. :) The U is supposed to have the circumflex over it to indicate the S is left out from ragouster, as the first E needs the circumflex in fete to indicate the lost S from feste, related to feast which brings us back to dinner. :)
shareI think its basically a pasta sauce made primarily of tomatoes with added ground meat
shareYou're confusing ragout with ragu.
Ragu is Italian (in some dialects) for tomato-based pasta sauce. In my dialect, it's called sugu.
Ragout is a French dish, described in another part of this thread. There are no tomatoes in ragout.

Imagine her managing all that in the back of the trailer!

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.
Lucy was going to make all that while in the back of a moving trailer, woe was her!
shareIt was not until I saw the movie with CC that I realized it was "Ragout of Beef" rather than Ragoo or Ragu. It sounds like a rich roast/stew, probably with potatoes and carrots and stuff.

Isn't that funny how we all think? I was thinking it was a pot roast served over pasta with a spaghetti sauce over it (ragu)...that recipe posted is great! Thank you for that!
