Step 1
Drain the beef, pat dry with paper towels, and season generously with salt and pepper. Peel 4 or 5 cloves of garlic.
Step 2
Set the Instant Pot to the sauté setting, and warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the beef and sear until browned, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Discard excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
Step 3
Return the Instant Pot to the sauté setting, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mirepoix and sauté until softened, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add 1 cup wine or water and the crushed tomatoes, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the beef to the pot.
Step 4
Cover, seal the vent, and cook on high pressure until the beef is completely tender, 60 minutes. Quick release the pressure, 5 minutes. Using tongs and a fork, shred the beef in the pot.
Step 5
Add the pasta to the pot in an even layer on top of the beef. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pour 1½ cups of water over. Cover, seal the vent, and cook on high pressure until tender, 3 minutes. Release the pressure, 5 minutes. Pick and chop the parsley leaves, discarding the stems.
Step 6
Stir the noodles into the ragu to combine. Spoon the pasta and ragu into bowls, and top with grated Parmesan, parsley, and chile flakes, if you want a kick, and serve warm.
