Beef Ragoût With Tomatoes And Pearl Onions (Quick And Easy)

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Every mouthful explodes with flavor in this quick and easy beef ragoût.

Beef Ragoût


This recipe is a one-pan meal, which makes dinner super easy. I’ve prepared a free eBook of one-pan meals for you, so be sure to check out how to get your copy below!


This quick and easy beef ragoût is one of my favorite go-to meals on busy days. Usually, I workout at 5:00 in the evening. After an intense workout, the last thing I feel like doing is spending a lot of time cooking dinner.

So on workout days, I either prepare dinner in the morning and set it in the slow cooker or I turn to one of my recipes that come together fast, like this incredibly tasty beef ragoût.

What can I add to ground beef for flavor?

Not only is it fast to make, it’s a wonderfully hearty meal too: ground beef cooked until tender with juicy Roma tomatoes and pearl onions in a flavorful gravy.

I serve it on a bed of sweet spaghetti squash for an extra layer of flavor and a healthy, paleo-friendly twist.

When you have afternoon plans that run late and don’t leave you much time to cook, this beef ragoût with tomatoes and pearl onions is one of those delicious, effortless meals that you can turn to in a pinch.

And it’s made in just one pan so clean up is easy, too.

One-Pan meal

What Is ragoût?

Usually cooked slowly over a low flame, a ragoût is a french style stew.

However, my version will only take you 30 minutes to make. And it’s not only fast but inexpensive because it’s made with ground beef. I was even able to find grass-fed ground beef on sale when I made it this week so I’m doing my happy dance.

And, boy, is it tasty! Each mouthful explodes with flavor thanks to the pearl onions and tomatoes.

ground beef recipe

Ingredients 

  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • ground beef
  • Red Boat
  • salt, pepper,onion powder, garlic powder
  • scallions sliced (separate the white root slices from the sliced green leaves)
  • pearl onions
  • Roma tomatoes 
  • tomato paste
  • and chicken stock 

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

First, heat the oil in a skillet and brown the beef while breaking it up with a spatula into large chunks (the size of beef stew chunks). This will take about 5 minutes.

Next, add Red Boat sauce. Red Boat is gluten-free and is produced in a gluten free facility. The ingredients are quite simple: just anchovy and sea salt.

Season this beef mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the sliced white bulb of the scallions (keep the green leaf part of the scallions as we’ll use it as a garnish later).

Cook the beef for 2 more minutes. Then transfer to a dish and set aside.

Now add your pearl onions to the same pan and cook them for about 2 minutes. Then add your tomato chunks and tomato paste and cook for 3 more minutes.

Finally, add your chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Let that cook for 3 more minutes while the layers of flavor blend into a tomatoey sauce.

Now turn off your flame and stir your beef mixture back into the pan. Then, stir in the sliced green leaf part of the scallions, and your scrumptious beef ragoût is done.

finished meal with a forkful

What goes with this?

When I have a little bit of extra time, I love serving the ragoût over spaghetti squash. Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? It gets its name because after it’s cooked, the inside turns into beautiful, pasta-like strands.

It’s a lovely gluten-free pasta substitute. If you close your eyes, you’ll think you’re eating your ragoût over angel hair pasta.

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • In this recipe, I like to keep the meat chunky. It’s best to use room temperature meat so it will cook evenly. Pat your meat dry with a paper towel so that it browns rather than steams. Place it in the pan and let it sit for about a minute. When you flip it over, it will be easy to break up into flavorful bite-size chunks.
  • Leftovers will last in the fridge for four to five days, stored in an airtight container. It reheats nicely. You can also cool the ragoût completely, wrap it tightly, and freeze it for two to three months.

What a delicious, healthy meal for a crisp autumn weeknight! Enjoy, friends!
