Turn Instant Pot to the sauté setting. While it heats up, trim excess fat from the short ribs and generously season the beef with salt.
Add canola oil to the Instant Pot. Add the short ribs to the hot oil and sear on all sides until brown, 2-3 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
Use tongs and paper towel to remove excess oil from the pot. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Pour red wine in to deglaze and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Return short ribs to the Instant Pot, with passata, salt and crushed red chili flakes. Use 1/2 cup beef broth to rinse out tomato sauce from the jar and add to pot. Set Instant Pot to the stew/meat setting for 35 minutes. When done, let it sit untouched for a natural steam release.
Remove short ribs and place on a baking sheet. Shred into bite size pieces, removing bones and any large pieces of fat.
Meanwhile, set the Instant Pot to sauté again to reduce/thicken the sauce. Skim any fat off top of sauce and add shredded beef back in. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Serve with creamy polenta or your favourite pasta and top with grated parmesan.
