Welcome to COZY food season!! Better known as carb season.

Also known as that time of year when I give my instant pot the workout of its LIFE. Cause instant pot red wine beef ragu ain’t gonna make itself.

It isn’t gonna eat itself either, but that’s what we’re here for. Our job’s hard but someone’s gotta do it. Takin’ one for the cozy food team.

Oh man. Guys. This red wine beef ragu is life-changing. It tastes like it simmered all day but it honest-to-goodness cooks up in the instant pot in only THIRTY freaking minutes. Umm, why wouldn’t I always have this in my instant pot is the only question….

There’s minimal steps involved in dinner for today, but just for kicks I’ll walk ya through ’em. >>>

  1. Cut a big ‘ol beef chuck roast into fairly-decent sized 2-in cubes. Then using the SAUTE mode on your instant pot, we’re gonna brown these.
  2. Once the beef is browned, literally everything else gets thrown into the pot. Carrots, a few herb sprigs, whole tomatoes, garlic, onion, red wine, (yeeeeees) and beef broth. All the good stuff, guys, all the good stuff.
  3. We’re gonna cook all of the above on high pressure for about 30 minutes then release the pressure for about 5. At which point, you’re gonna remove your beef cubes from the pot and shred ’em up because they’re gonna be SO INSANELY fall-apart tender. Like they cooked for about 8 + hours tender is what I’m talking, guys.

The whole dang thing will then get draped over hot pappardelle noodles and I insist you cover ALL dat goodness with grated Parmesan if you know what’s good for ya.

This.Is.Cozy.Food, guys. All winter long, you know what I’m eating.

    This is such a delicious change from typical meat sauce — I love how rustic and chunky that sauce looks! I’m an IP fanatic, which only makes me love this recipe more!
