To shred the beef after it’s cooked, I used a pair of meat claws. This is one of my favorite inexpensive kitchen tools that I didn’t realize so many people didn’t know about.

I busted them out to shred my Slow Cooker Chipotle Honey Pulled Pork Tacos on Superbowl Sunday and everyone at my party freaked out. They totally loved them and never knew they existed! Just in case you’re in the same boat, allow me to introduce you to meat claws. They’re the inexpensive tool you need to add to your kitchen repertoire!

One of my favorite things about both the slow cooker and Instant Pot versions of this Beef Ragu dish is it’s versatility.

For instance, last week I made this Instant Pot Beef Ragu and served it over pasta for lunch. The next day I turned the leftovers into a Beef Ragu Lasagna for a dinner party.

Going light on carbs? Serve this scrumptious sauce over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.

Looking for something gluten free? Serve the ragu over Creamy Cheesy Polenta.
