4 8-oz sirloin steaks, lean, thin-cut3 medium-size potatoes, quartered and peeled1 medium onion, chopped4 garlic cloves, chopped1 tsp oregano, ground1/2 tsp cumin, ground1 bay leaf, whole1/8 green bell pepper, sliced1 packet Sazon Goya 4-oz golden cooking wine4-oz tomato sauce2 tbsp spanish olivessalt, to taste1 tbsp cooking oil, canola or olive, you choosewater

Directions

First step is to cut steak in half so as to make 8 servings; set aside.
In the pressure cooker with the stove set to medium, add oil, onions, garlic, pepper, oregano, cumin, bay leaf and tomato sauce so as to create what we call a "sofrito", saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired consistency. Now add the steak for another 2 minutes. Now goes the potatoes, cooking wine, olives, enough water to cover both potatoes and steaks, Sazon packet and salt. Stir thoroughly and if you feel you want to add a little bit more of any one ingredient, feel free. Now cover the pressure cooker, once it starts to make noise, lower the heat to medium low for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes have passed and the pressure is all gone, remove the lid and check the consistency. If you added enough water to cover the ingredients, it may be a little runny; if so, give it another 10 minutes for desired consistency. It make 8 4-oz. servings and it goes perfectly with the rice. Savor and enjoy!

Have you tried making this in a cazuela or only in a pressure cooker? I'm wondering if you know roughly how long it would take to cook in a cazuela (I'm going to try it tomorrow). - 3/1/13

This has become my favorite Cuban dish. I used my pressure cooker which made the steaks very tender. I didnot use Sazon, tomato sauce nor the olives. I did add about 1/4c of olive oil and a dash of fennel and it made it's own delicious sauce. It was served with rice. - 8/22/11
