  22. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  23. ### **Step 1: Sear the Beef**
  24. 1. Set your **Instant Pot** to the **Sauté** function and heat the olive oil.
  25. 2. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  26. ### **Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics**
  27. 1. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes).
  28. 2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  29. ### **Step 3: Add Spices and Tomato Paste**
  30. 1. Sprinkle the sweet paprika, smoked paprika (if using), and dried thyme over the onions and garlic. Stir to coat.
  31. 2. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  32. ### **Step 4: Deglaze the Pot**
  33. 1. Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits (this adds flavor and prevents the "burn" warning).
  34. ### **Step 5: Combine Ingredients**
  35. 1. Return the seared beef to the pot.
  36. 2. Add the diced tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
  37. ### **Step 6: Pressure Cook**
  38. 1. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to the **Sealing** position.
  39. 2. Select the **Pressure Cook** or **Manual** setting and set the timer for **35 minutes** on high pressure.
  40. ### **Step 7: Natural Release**
  41. 1. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for **10-15 minutes**. Then, carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  42. ### **Step 8: Finish with Sour Cream**
  43. 1. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  44. 2. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
