1

Add the oil to a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes on all sides in the hot oil, then stir in the poblano, jalapeno, and serrano peppers, onion, garlic, coriander, cumin, and beef broth. Lock the lid on the pressure cooker, bring it up to pressure, and lower the heat to maintain steady pressure.
2

Cook at medium steady pressure for 1 hour, remove the cooker from the heat, set it in the sink, and run cold water over the lid until the pressure is released.

Carefully remove the lid, and serve.
