This recipe was made for the instant pot but it can also be made in a stock pot. Follow the same steps but allow the meat to simmer in the stock pot for 4 to 6 hours on low. Follow the steps for the tomato paste and basil as the instant pot. This can also be made in a slow cooker set on low for 8 to 10 hours and add the paste and basil in the last hour of cooking.
