ROPA VIEJA - INSTANT POT
I saw this being made on "Worst Cooks in America" and thought it looked good. I looked up a recipe for it and found this Instant Pot one on Whole30. I have modified it slightly for our tastes. Both hubby and I gave it two thumbs up.

Steps:
- Set IP to saute and preheat for 5 minutes. Add oil and heat until shimmering.
- Cut the flank steak in pieces that will fit in the pot; season both sides with salt and pepper. Add first piece to IP and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip to other side and brown an additional 5 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat with the other piece(s). Set the browned flank steak aside.
- Add onions and peppers to the pot and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, an additional minute.
- Add all of the seasonings and stir well to coat vegetables. Cook an additional minute. Add crushed tomatoes, lime juice and olives. Stir to combine and add the flank steak pieces back into the pot. Push the meat down to partially cover it with the vegetables and some of the liquid. Close the lid; set the valve to the sealing position and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
- When cooking time is over, release pressure manually. Using 2 forks, shred the meat in the pot. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Add the cilantro, if using, and stir through.
- Serve with rice or mashed potatoes (I served mine with spaetzle because I wanted to try out my new spaetzle making tool.). Garnish with jalapeno, avocado and additional cilantro, if desired.
