INSTANT POT PUERTO RICAN SANCOCHO

Steps:

• Season the beef with oregano, garlic powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper and the juice of two limes.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the Instant Pot and press the saute option on "more" for about 20 minutes.
• Once the oil has warmed add in enough beef to almost cover the bottom, and leave the rest to cook in batches.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes or until sides have browned. (Adjust heat if needed.)
• Remove beef once browned.
• Add an extra 3 minutes if needed, and add in a teaspoon of oil. Once warmed, add in sofrito, seasonings, tomato sauce, and herbs.
• Cook for a minute, stirring often.
• Add in your vegetables and your beef, gently toss it together so everything is mixed in together. Add in your beef broth and any remaining ingredients.
• Set your Instant Pot on manual high pressure, set your timer for 30 minutes. Close the lid and set the valve to seal.
• Once the timer is up, press the Cancel button, allow it to release naturally or wait at least 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
• Once your pin drops, open the lid and stir the sancocho.
• To thicken your sancocho, press the saute option for 15 minutes, and allow the soup to cook down and evaporate some of the excess liquid (check on it often).
