  • Add onions, carrot, and celery to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; cook onion mixture, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  • Add beef and veal and cook, breaking meat apart with a wooden spoon or spatula, until no longer pink. Stir in wine, tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
