1 medium cabbage head (ca. 2lbs, cored and coarsely chopped)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb beef stew meat
1 lb pork stew meat
1 large onion (diced)
1 large tomato (diced)

2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon Vegeta or salt
1 large potato (diced)
2 cups water or beef broth

Steps:

Drizzle the bottom of an instant pot with two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add half the cabbage and press down a bit with your hand.
Place the meat over the cabbage, then layer the chopped onion, tomato, carrot, pepper, and garlic.
Add the bay leaves, tomato paste, paprika, peppercorns, and Vegeta or salt.
Top with potato cubes and rest of the cabbage. Press down again. Pour in the water or broth.
Close the lid and steam valve on the instant pot. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, and then allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes before a quick release.
Stir before serving. Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley if desired.
