1

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and cut it into four 4-inch pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
2

Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the steak in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Sauté function. Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in the pot. Working in batches, sear the steak in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Move the browned steak to a warm plate and set aside.
4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil to the pot. Cook and stir the bell pepper, onion, carrot, and celery in the hot oil until the onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pot. Mix in the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and paprika. Return the steak to the pot and press it down into the tomato mixture.
5

Close and lock the lid. Select manual pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
6

Let the pressure release naturally according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully open the valve to release any remaining pressure, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.
