Beef ragù is a very tender braised beef roast in a rich tomato sauce. It is typically served with egg noodles such as pappardelle or tagliatelle. For a low-carb option, serve the ragù over baked spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. Traditional ragù is slow-cooked in a Dutch oven for many hours, however, an Instant Pot can create the same results in just 35 minutes! Serve ragù with a green salad and my Everyday Salad Dressing or Red Wine Vinaigrette.

We cut the amount of red pepper and black pepper and it was still very spicy. But the flavor is delicious! We ate them over rice fusilli.

So, so good. No need to cut the beef into small pieces. A little larger may be better for good sized shreds.
