Cubed Steak with Peppers and Olives

My family devoured this, even went back for seconds. I served it over rice with a quick slaw on the side. If you want an easy, budget-friendly, family-friendly dish with a Latin flair, I’m sure your family will enjoy it! More beef Instant Pot and Slow Cooker recipes I love are Barbacoa Beef, Cuban Picadillo, and Beef Chili.

This is a dish I grew up eating, and always loved. It’s cheap because it’s made with an inexpensive cut of beef and just a few ingredients. My Mom learned this recipe from her Cuban friend which she called Carne Machacada. I saw the cubed steak in the supermarket last week and craved this dish immediately so I called my mom to ask her how to make it and adapted it for the pressure cooker. She makes this on the stove which I have done many times before, but really loved how tender it came out in the Instant Pot.

Cooks Notes:

This is freezer-friendly, to freeze store in a freezer safe container and let it thaw in the fridge the night before to reheat. Dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, whole30 and paleo-friendly. Great served over rice, or to keep it low-carb serve it over cauliflower rice. This flavor combination would be great with cubed beef for beef stew or even chicken

And since so many are asking, although I have and love my Instant Pot, I still love my slow cooker! I have the 6 Quart Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker (affil link). I love it because you can adjust the time you want it to cook, and it automatically turns to warm when it’s done. It also has a probe for meat that automatically shuts off when done. I hated my old crock pot, it burnt everything and my food had a weird taste. This slow cooker is so great, I actually own several!
