Instant Pot® Tomato and Beef Sauce
Share recipe
Description
Tomato and beef sauce with a hint of wine for your pasta. I've made this fairly basic but feel free to adjust the seasoning to your tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup dry red wine
- 1 (24 ounce) container crushed tomatoes
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, crushed with a fork
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions
- 1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Select Saute function and adjust the setting to low. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Add onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the pot and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Turn Saute function off.
- 2. Select Saute function again and adjust the setting to high heat. Saute for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, stirring infrequently to allow brown bits to form on the bottom of the pot. Pour in red wine to deglaze. Add both tomatoes and browned beef mixture; stir to combine.
- 3. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- 4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Release any additional pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add lemon juice and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
