Total Time: 40

Yield: 8 servings

Course: Dinner

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

8 pieces cubed steak (28 oz total)
1 3/4 teaspoons adobo seasoning or garlic salt
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 small red bell pepper (sliced 1/4-inch thin strips)
1/2 medium onion (sliced into 1/4-inch thin strips)
1/3 cup green pitted olives (plus 2 tablespoons of brine)

Instructions

Instant Pot Directions:

Season beef with adobo or garlic salt.
Add the onions and peppers to the instant pot. Pour tomato sauce and water over everything and add the olives along with some of the brine (liquid from the jar). Add the beef, cumin and bay leaf.
Cover and cook high pressure 25 minutes. Natural release then press saute and simmer until it thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.

Slow Cooker Directions (My least favorite way to make this):

Cook 8 hours on low.

Stove top:

Add a little oil to a large deep skillet and saute the onions and peppers with a pinch of salt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, 1 can of water, olives, brine, cumin and stir then add the beef and bay leaf.
Cook over low heat for 1 hour, covered until the beef is tender. Uncover, then remove the lid and let it simmer over medium-low until it thickens to your liking.
