Afterwards, add water and add enough water so that covers the meat completely. Place lit on pot with a small opening for steam and pressure to release. Stew for about 25-30 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on pot. If water dries up before meat has had a chance to tenderize, add more water.
• After 25-30 mins, check meat for tenderness. If meat is still tough, add more water stew some more. If it has reached softness and tenderness that you like, add tomato paste. Be sure to work in the tomato paste into the sauce. *Note: you want to make sure that you have enough sauce, almost like a gravy or au jus. Don't let sauce dry up too much. If it's dried up too much, simply add more water
• In the end, add sliced onions and peppers that have been sitting 1 tsp of white vinegar along with olives (optional). Mix until well combined with meat and turn off flame. Cover with lid for 5 minutes and steam will soften onions and peppers
