Easy Cheesy Beef Ragu Loaded Ciabattas

a) While the beef fries, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

c) Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high.

d) Halve the ciabatta.

a) Put your ciabatta halves cut-side up on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Grill until golden, 2-3 mins. 

b) Once the ragu has thickened, taste and add salt, pepper and sugar if needed.

c) Once the ciabatta has toasted, removed from the grill and carefully spoon the ragu on top of each half.

d) Sprinkle over the cheese and grill again until the cheese has melted, 2-3 mins.

a) While the ciabattas are under the grill, in a large bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts).
