Instructions
- Instant Pot Directions:
- Set the Instant Pot to saute setting. Heat oil and add onion, carrots, and celery and saute until vegetables start to soften. Stir often. Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Set Instant Pot to meat/stew mode and set time for 40 minutes. Add chuck roast (cut into pieces), crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Once the cooking time is finished, leave the steam valve on natural release and wait for it to release the steam on its own, about 10 minutes.
- Once the steam valve has been released, open the lid, and using two forks, shred the beef. Add the beef back into the sauce and let the sauce thicken. If the sauce isn't thick enough, push the saute button and let it thicken for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve on a bed of pappardelle pasta, spiralized veggies (such as zucchini, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or spaghetti squash), polenta, mashed potatoes or any other type of hearty pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
