Preparation Steps

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine (if using). Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
• Return the browned beef to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
• Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
