Press Sauté and add about 1 teaspoon of olive oil, when it’s starting to warm up (don’t wait until it says HOT), add the chopped onions, celery and carrots and stir. Let sauté for about 5 minutes.
Add the ox cheeks, about a teaspoon of salt and a good few twists of the black pepper mill, let the meat get some colour (about 3-5 minutes) stirring every once in a while.

Lock the lid in. Steam set to Sealing. Pressure cook on high for 65 minutes. Let it do a natural release at the end, i.e. don’t do anything until the float valve pops back down and the lid is safe to open (if this hasn’t happened after 15 minutes and you’re super hungry, feel free to release the rest of the steam).
At the end, remove the lid, press Sauté and let it bubble with the lid off until the sauce has thickened / reduced, you could add a thickener but I don’t find it needs it.
