Start by discussing the tradition of barreado and its preparation in a clay pot.

Introduce the use of a pressure cooker for modern convenience, explaining it cooks faster than traditional methods.

Prepare the pressure cooker by sealing it with clay or dough to trap steam (not demonstrated in detail).

Layer bacon at the bottom of the pressure cooker.

Add beef chunks on top of the bacon without browning it first.

Slice onions into julienne or any preferred size and add them on top of the beef.

Prepare a tomato mixture by blending tomatoes with water (about 5-6 tomatoes and 500ml of water) and pour it over the layers.

Season with cumin, vinegar (any type), bay leaves, and chopped cilantro.

Repeat the layering process with bacon, beef, onions, and tomatoes until all ingredients are used.

Cook in the pressure cooker for about 20-30 minutes until the beef is tender and the mixture has thickened into a sauce.

Open the pressure cooker and show the final product, emphasizing the aroma and texture of the dish.
