Ingredients

  • 8 pieces cubed steak
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1/3 cup green pitted olives
  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1  3/4 teaspoons adobo seasoning or garlic salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Sprinkle the beef generously with adobo seasoning or garlic salt.

  2. 2

    In the Instant Pot, place the onions and peppers at the bottom. Drizzle the tomato sauce and water over the mixture, then add the olives along with a bit of their brine. Follow this by incorporating the beef, cumin, and bay leaf.

  3. 3

    Secure the lid and set the pot to high pressure for 25 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally. Then, switch to the sauté function and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    For slow cooking, set the cooker to low and let it run for 8 hours.

  5. 5

    In a large, deep skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and peppers with a pinch of salt for about 2 to 3 minutes. Next, mix in the tomato sauce, one can of water, olives, brine, cumin, and stir well. Add the beef and bay leaf to the skillet.

  6. 6

    Allow the mixture to cook on low heat for 1 hour with the lid on until the beef becomes tender. Afterward, remove the lid and let it simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until it reaches your desired thickness.
