1.
In a small bowl, combine fennel seed, steak seasoning and cayenne if desired. Cut roast in half. Rub seasoning mixture over pork. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, brown a roast half on all sides. Remove; repeat with remaining pork. Press cancel.

Return all to pressure cooker. Add peppers, onions, tomatoes and water. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 45 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. A thermometer inserted in pork should read at least 145°.
