  1. First, chop the meat with a knife or use a meat grinder. The important thing is to get pieces that are not too big.
  2. Finely chop, again with a knife, celery, carrot and onion and brown them in a pan with oil for a few minutes, so as to obtain a tasty sauté.
  3. Add the meat and bay leaf, browning it for about ten minutes, stirring often.
  4. Deglaze the meat with the red wine and when you no longer smell the alcohol rising from the pan, add the peeled tomatoes crushed with a fork.
