Steps

5 hours

1

In a food processor, pulse onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until finely chopped.
2

Heat a moderate-sized Dutch oven (4 to 5 quarts) over medium-high heat. Once hot, coat the bottom of the pan with two to three tablespoons of oil. Once it is hot, add the chopped vegetables and season them generously with salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables until they are evenly brown, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
3

Add the ground beef and seasoning again with salt and pepper. Brown the beef well and again, don’t rush this step. Cook for another 15 minutes.
4

Add the tomato paste and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the milk, using it to scrape up any stuck bits in the pan. Cook the milk until it has reduced by half, about 5 more minutes.
5

Add water to the pan until the water is about 1 inch above the meat. Toss in the bay leaves and the bundle of thyme and stir to combine everything, bringing it to a low simmer. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, and add water from time to time
