Heat a large deep frying pan or sauté pan and seal the meat in batches until just browned then remove to a bowl.
Wipe the pan then add the oil and fry the onions, carrots and celery over a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the garlic and oregano, fry for another minute then pour over the Eisberg wine and stock. Return the beef to the pan, season with black pepper and stir. Cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato puree and cook uncovered for another 20-30 minutes until reduced and thickened.
Serve with spaghetti or your favourite pasta shape. Grate over a few Parmesan flakes and scatter over some fresh basil leaves before serving.
