Instructions

Turn on your Instant Pot and select the Sauté function. Add oil and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside. Add the onion to the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn off the Sauté function.
Return the beef to the Instant Pot. Stir in the beef broth, potatoes, diced tomatoes, green chiles, oregano, garlic, cumin, chipotle chile powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Secure the lid and set to High pressure for 45 minutes, allowing 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.
Release the pressure naturally, which should take between 10 and 40 minutes. Unlock and carefully remove the lid.
