Instructions

ON THE STOVETOP:

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 more minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Add beef stock, tomatoes, red peppers, carrots, potatoes, steak, chiles or chipotles, cumin, salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue simmering for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and steak are tender.
Remove and discard the chiles. Taste and season the soup with extra salt and pepper and cumin, if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with your desired toppings.

IN THE INSTANT POT (PRESSURE COOKER):

Add all ingredients to the bowl of your Instant Pot, and briefly stir to combine.
Close lid securely and set vent to “Sealing”. Press “Manual”, then press “Pressure” until the light on “High Pressure” lights up, then adjust the +/- buttons until the time reads 40 minutes. Cook.
Once the soup has cooked, very carefully turn the vent to “Venting” for quick release, and wait until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped. Remove the lid.
Remove and discard the chiles. Taste, and season the soup with extra salt and pepper and cumin, if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with your desired toppings.
