  • ● 14.5 oz. Can diced tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil into the Instant Pot, and turn it to the saute function.

  • Place the sliced onions and peppers into the Instant Pot, and saute them for several minutes.
  • Add the steak, 4.5 cups of water, 2 bay leaves and 4 cloves of garlic into the Instant Pot, put the lid on with the valve closed, and cook on high for 13 minutes.
  • Do a quick release, and remove the steak from the Instant Pot. Shred it with a fork and knife. Remove the vegetables from the Instant Pot with a slotted spoon, and set them aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
  • Once hot, add in the shredded steak and vegetables that you removed from the Instant Pot.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon each of oregano, chili powder and cumin, and stir to combine.
  • Pour in ½ cup of white cooking wine, and cook until reduced almost completely.
  • Mix in one 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, stir to combine and lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  • Serve alone or over a bed of cauliflower rice.
