Step 6

Now stir in the wine and bring it to a gentle boil out for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Then, stir the tomato paste and into the beef mixture for about one minute.

Step 8

Next, add the beef broth and let that gently boil in the sauce for about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Now, stir in the crushed tomatoes and add the cream.

Step 10

Then, season the sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes or more if desired.
