Analyzing cooking steps...
Getting a hard sear on the beef is crucial for building a deep, rich flavor that tastes like it has cooked for hours.
Using a mix of beef and pork adds more complexity and richness to the sauce.
Don't be afraid to use non-traditional ingredients like star anise, soy sauce, and lemon zest to enhance the umami and brightness.
Finishing the pasta in the sauce with some starchy pasta water is the secret to a perfectly glossy, well-coated dish.
Ensure your pasta water is well-salted as it will be used to season and finish the final dish.
