Instructions
- Peel and dice your onion, celery, carrots, and sweet potato and put to one side.
- Add your beef cheeks and sauté in the instant pot with extra virgin olive oil. Until you have a good sear on your beef cheeks.
- Remove the beef cheeks, put to one side, and then add into the instant pot your onion, celery, and carrots. Then sauté for a couple of minutes to add flavour onto the veggies from the beef cheeks. Cancel the sauté and stir in the garlic. Add in red wine and beef stock and use a silicone spatula to deglaze the instant pot.
- Stir in sweet potatoes and then add half the seasonings and stir and then place the beef cheeks on top. Then use the remaining seasoning over the beef cheeks.
- Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 75 minutes.
- Then do a 15 minute natural pressure release before removing the remaining pressure.
- Then remove the beef cheeks from the instant pot and put to one side. Move what’s left in the instant pot to a blender and blend until you have a creamy sauce.
- Cook your pasta according to pasta instructions and then serve the ragu sauce over the pasta. Then slice up the beef cheeks and add on top of the ragu.
Notes
- Stock. I love to make my own homemade stock, but its personal choice you can use shop bought if you prefer.
- Wine. Don’t overthink the red wine. Any will do.
