I made this recipe for a family gathering close to New Years. Everyone raved about it! My family liked a bit more heat to a dish, so I added a bit of cumin and a serrano pepper. I browned my floured and browned my beef cubes in a bit of oil, and pressure cooked them for tenderness. After the meat was done, I continued the recipe as called for. This is a recipe I will make again, I'm sure. This made a lot, so I froze a container. We had the leftovers last night, and it was as good as the night I served it originally.
