Braised Grass-Fed Beef and White Bean Ragu with Wilted Tuscan Kale

In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet onions and sauté until translucent and beginning to caramelize, about 6 minutes.

Add the grass-fed ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Brown the meat thoroughly until deeply golden; the Maillard reaction here is crucial for the depth of the ragu.

Pour in the Pomodorina sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze all the flavorful browned bits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the ragu gently braise for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.

Fold in the cooked white beans, allowing them to heat through and absorb the tomato base, about 5 minutes.

Finally, add the chopped Tuscan kale. Cover for 2-3 minutes until the kale is vibrant green and just wilted but still retaining its structural integrity.

Taste for seasoning and adjust with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve in a shallow bowl, ensuring a generous ladle of the beef-bean mixture covers the greens.
