Accidentally read recipe as 11x3 inch strip of zest rather than 1 1x3 inch strip of zest. Is there any way to save this ragú recipe?

As the title says, tried to make this ragú that had a lot of work put into it. When it was time to eat, we noticed it was very zesty, then realized we put in WAY too much orange and lemon zest after it had been simmering for 2 hours. Is there anything we can do to salvage this ragú recipe? Ingredients are listed below:

EVOO, 1 lb ground beef chuck, 2 medium yellow onions, 1 large carrot, 2 large celery stalks, 1 1/2 cups dry red wine, 2 cups beef stock, 2 cups whole milk, 2 bay leaves, 1 1-inch by 3-inch strip of lemon zest (accidentally used zest of a whole lemon) 1 1-inch by 3-inch strip of orange zest (also accidentally used zest of a whole orange) 1/2-inch piece cinnamon stick, 5 tablespoons tomato paste
