Instructions
- 1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Select the Sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining cubes.

Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute.
