Beef Ragu Instant Pot (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2 fresh sprigs rosemary or thyme.
02 - 15 oz crushed tomatoes.
03 - 6 oz tomato paste.
04 - 1 1/2 cups beef broth.
05 - 1 tsp black pepper.
06 - 1 tsp kosher salt.
07 - 1/4 cup red wine.
08 - 4 garlic cloves, minced.
09 - 1/2 cup celery, diced.
10 - 1/2 cup carrots, diced.
11 - 1 cup onion, diced.
12 - 2 tbsp olive oil, split up.
13 - 2 tbsp Italian herbs.
14 - 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut in chunks.

# Steps To Make It:

01 - If you’d like, use Sauté for about 10-15 minutes to get your sauce even thicker.
02 - Take out the meat, pull it apart, pop it right back in the pot.
03 - Let the pressure come down by itself for 10 minutes.
04 - Cook it at high pressure for 30 minutes.
05 - Now put the beef back in. Sprinkle in pepper and salt, pour in broth, toss in tomato paste, add the tomatoes, plus the herbs.
06 - Pour in the wine and scrape all those good bits off the bottom.
07 - Toss in your garlic and keep cooking for another minute.
08 - Pour in whatever’s left of the oil. Next, drop in the onion, carrots, and celery. Let ‘em cook for about 4 minutes.
09 - Brown the beef pieces for 4 minutes. Take them out when they look good.
10 - On your Instant Pot, hit Sauté-Normal. Use one tablespoon of oil to start.
11 - Sprinkle Italian herbs all over the beef chunks.

# Extra Notes:

01 - You can ditch the wine and just add more broth if you'd rather.
02 - Great on top of pasta, creamy polenta, or some roasted squash.
03 - Stays fine in the fridge up to five days.
04 - Letting the sauce sauté at the end gives it a thicker vibe.
