What is Beef Ragu?
In the north of Italy, ragu typically uses chopped or ground meat that is cooked with sauteed vegetables, herbs, and spices in a liquid. The meats may include one or more of beef, chicken, pork, lamb, or game. I’d heard of beef ragu many times but had never tried it even in a restaurant. Yet all the reports I heard were that it was great. Because it has a fancy name that I had not heard of I thought that it would be a really difficult recipe. Well, let me tell you that it a really easy recipe. Basically, it’s a cubed beef and a tomato-based sauce. The really great thing is that the side dishes you can put with this are equally as easy and versatile. It goes with pasta, rice, and even a mashed potato! You start with a budget type of beef—chuck roast or blade steak is great. the cooking process is going to make it super tender. I like to cut the beef into two-inch pieces. This makes sure that each piece will get coated all the herbs, seasonings, and sauce. Simplistically you cut the beef and throw it into your Instant Pot along your seasonings and some crushed tomatoes. Leave it for one hour and when you come back to it, the beef will be tender and flavored amazingly. Then simply serve over some pasta – almost any style. Or it goes really well with rice or my favorite is creamy mashed potato. Instant Pot Beef Ragu tastes fantastic and really takes very little effort—give it a try you will love this recipe.
