How to Make Beef In Pepper Sauce

1. Set aside 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce from a 14.5-ounce can.
2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup chopped green bell peppers, 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers, 2 jalapeños (seeds removed for mild, or included for extra spice), 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Set the pepper sauce aside.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brown the beef on all sides.
5. Add 1 cup of water, the reserved 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin to the pressure cooker.
6. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
7. Transfer the cooked beef and any accumulated juices from the pressure cooker to a large pot or Dutch oven.
8. Stir in the blended pepper mixture and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced white onion and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced green bell pepper. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
9. Serve hot over white rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
