In 5 or 6 quart pressure cooker brown beef on all sides in oil.
Stir in all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes.
Lock lid on pressure cooker and cook on high until the weight begins to \"jiggle\".
Lower heat to a slow consistent \"jiggle\" and cook for 15 minutes.

I used a 5 qt pressure cooker at 12 pounds of pressure for this recipe.
