I love making sauce.

Mine resembles Mikes and LD's.

Basically I brown whatever meat, usually beef and pork, in a heavy pot. Remove and sauté onion, garlic and a bit of celery and carrot. Hit it with a bit of wine to deglaze, add meat back, add tomatoes and paste. Water or beef stock.

I season very simply with salt and pepper, bit of sugar, bay leaf, and oregano.

Let it simmer for a couple hours or more if you threw in a tough hunk of beef.

Sometimes when it's done, I pull the meat back out along with the bay leaves and hit it with a burr mixer to make it smooth.
