Seal the pressure cooker and cook for about 2 hours until the beef is tender.

Release the pressure from the cooker carefully.

Remove the beef and discard excess fat; it should shred easily.

Chop half an onion into julienne strips.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the onion until translucent.

Add the shredded beef to the skillet and mix well.

Pour in some of the cooking broth from the beef for moisture.

Add a little tomato sauce for flavor and mix everything together.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes to combine flavors.
