Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs Braised in Tomato Sauce aka More Meat

Instant Pot Beef Short Ribs Braised in Tomato Sauce

2 slices of bacon, cut into lardons
1 ½ pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut into 3” pieces
½ onion, diced small
3 carrots, diced small
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon oregano
½ cup red wine
¼ cup water
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Set the Instant Pot to “saute.” Add the bacon and cook until just starting to crisp. Add the short ribs in a single layer and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until all sides are browned. Remove the ribs from the pot. Add the onion, carrots and garlic to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Return the short ribs to the pot. Stir together the tomato paste, salt, oregano, wine, water and tomatoes; pour over the short ribs. Cover and set to the “meat/stew” function for 45 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally, shred the meat with two forks and stir into the sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta.
