  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, tomato puree, vinegar, molasses, and Worcestershire and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer gently until thickened and the flavors have melded, 45 to 60 minutes. Add a little water to the sauce if it gets too thick or dry.

  2. In another large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart into small pieces. Drain the excess fat from the skillet. Add the sauce and simmer over medium-low heat until the flavors blend, at least 10 minutes.
