Season the meat with mashed garlic, diced red onions, diced green peppers, Salsa China, Dominican oregano, a tiny bit of cumin, sazon con achiote y culantro, kosher salt, black pepper, and the whole lime.

Mix everything until well combined and marinate the meat for at least 20 minutes or overnight.

Set the pressure cooker to sauté on high and add olive oil.

Brown the meat in batches, stirring every couple of minutes to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Once browned, remove the meat and add the last batch to the pot.

Add enough water to cover the meat completely, about 2.5 cups.

Close the lid and set the pressure cooker to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, carefully release the pressure and remove the lid.

Set the machine to sauté on high to thicken the sauce.

Add tomato paste (or sauce) and fresh cilantro, adjusting seasoning to taste.

If there's too much liquid, remove some to speed up thickening.

Optionally add olives, onions, and a variety of bell peppers.

Add a tiny bit of red wine vinegar and mix everything until well combined.

Let it simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking.
