Instructions:

Pre-processing:

• Remove veins from beef rump, grind then marinate with salt, pepper, and red wine for 30-45 minutes.
• Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato, blanch them in boiling water until the cut skin begins to peel away. Cut into small pieces or grind.
• Peel onion, celery, and carrot, then dice.
• Finely chop celery and garlic.

Sauce:

• Put the onion and olive oil in a large pan and fry over a fairly high heat. Add beef and stir-fry until the liquid cooks off.
• Fry the olive oil, unsalted butter, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves, black pepper, and tomato, then simmer for about 30min. Add stir-fried beef then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30min. Add tomato paste and beef stock, simmer for another 30min.
• Add some oregano leaves and thyme.

Spaghetti:

• Boil the spaghetti in a large pan with salted water for about 15min. Drain well, add some more olive oil, and let it rest. Boil again then stir with butter, garlic, and basil before serving.
