Cooking Directions

1. Turn on a 6- or 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.

4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes.
5. Blend remaining 1/4 cup water with flour in a small bowl. Gradually stir into the meat mixture and select Saute function. Heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
