- Spread vegetables out flat on your sheet pan

Prepare Beef
- Turn on Instant Pot (if you're using one, if not use your pressure cooker, or pot as you normally would) and set to Saute, high
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to pot
- Add tomato paste to pot, stirring and browning

- Once browned, add tomato sauce, beef stock, and bay leaf to pot
- Set your instant pot to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes
