  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 12 oz pappardelle pasta

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to 'Sauté' and heat olive oil. Season short ribs with salt and pepper, searing each side for about 3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onions, garlic, and carrots; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up brown bits from the bottom. Let reduce for about 2 minutes.

  5. Return short ribs to the pot. Close the lid and cook on 'Manual' high pressure for 60 minutes.
  6. Release pressure carefully; shred short ribs using two forks and return to sauce.
