Start by marinating your beef in soy sauce and some black pepper. Shouldnt be soaking in soy; just so they arent red anymore.
Turn your instant pot on to saut mode on high. Add some oil to lightly coat the bottom. Sear your meat on all sides. Set aside in a bowl.
Add your onions and garlic to the instant pot and saut until translucent.
Add your meat back in with all the juices, tomato sauce, bay leaves, and fill with beef broth until it just covers the meat. Set your IP to manual - high pressure - 30 mins.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, pan-fry your potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper until they show some color. Set aside.
Quick release when ready, then add in your pre-sauted veggies from step 5, brown sugar, and (start with) half a can of liver spread. Gradually add more to your liking. Hit the cancel button, then press saut again on high. Simmer this until the mixture reduces ~10-15 more mins.
Dont forget to add in however many peas you like! And that my friends, is Filipino beef stew. Enjoy!
