Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large casserole dish over a medium to high heat. Toss the beef cubes in the flour, then brown in batches and set aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining oil to the casserole dish, reduce the heat to medium and cook the onion, garlic, celery and carrot for 10 minutes until soft.
- Stir through the tomato purée and half the rosemary and cook for 2 minutes before returning the beef back to the pan with the red wine and passata. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to gas 8, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- Cook the gnocchi in a pan of boiling water for 3 minutes until they float to the top. Drain and place over the beef. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and remaining rosemary and cook in the oven for 10 minutes until golden.
