Instant Pot:

Add all ingredients to pressure cooker and mix up as best as you can. Seal lid and set to pressure cook high for 10 minutes. Allow vent to slow release for 20 minutes. Once meat is finished cooking, drain off any liquid into a heat-proof container. Note: This liquid has some fat in it, so do not pour down a garbage disposal.
