Video Player
"Spezzatino di Manzo or Italian beef stew is a simple and hearty dish full of flavors and depth. The dish simmers for hours to create a rich tomato sauce and meat that just melts in your mouth. As always, my first choice when it comes to canned tomatoes is @tuttorossotomatoes. Because choosing the #1 canned tomatoes will make my recipe taste delicious and elevate my dish to the next level. Tuttorosso San Marzano Hand Crushed Tomatoes makes the sauce so rich and delicious. Unlike other canned tomatoes, @tuttorossotomatoes doesn't use anything artificial. There is no tinny taste of the can because they use non-BPA lined cans. That sun-ripened, vine-fresh flavor is locked in and preserved with steam. Utilizing a Steam Sealed Flavor -LocTM system, every Tuttorosso product has that pure tomato flavor and nothing else. This hearty stew that develops its flavors from slow cooking is a family favorite and perfect for cooler months ahead. Click the link in my stories to find a location near you! Enjoy my recipe!"
