When meat is no longer pink, drain all the liquid from pan. Add the onions, potatoes, garlic, and bell peppers to the meat and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Don't overcook!
1 medium Russet potato, 1 medium onion, 1 medium red bell pepper, 2 tsp minced garlic
Transfer the meat to the Instant Pot, then add tomato, cilantro, tomato sauce, 1 1/4 cups beef broth, green olives [you can add some of the brine from the jar for added flavor], then add the cumin, garlic powder, and bay leaves.
¼ cup cilantro, 14 oz diced tomatoes, 8 oz tomato sauce, 1¼ cups reduced sodium beef broth, ¼ cup green olives, 1½ tsp ground cumin, ¼ tsp garlic powder, 2 bay leaves
Set the Instant Pot to meat/stew or manual for 5 minutes. When done, release the pressure valve to de-pressurize and remove Instant Pot lid.
Discard the bay leaves. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, if needed.
1 pinch table salt, 1 pinch ground black pepper
Serving Suggestion: Serve with rice and carb balance tortillas.
