## Ingredients

- 1 bag Black Eyed Peas
- 2 Ham hocks
- 1 Ham steak
- 1 Chopped onion
- 1 Chopped carrot
- 1 squirt Chunky garlic
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Crushed oregano
- 1 grind Fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon Beef bouillon
- 4 Bay leaves
- Tap water

## Instructions

1. First, you're going to use an Instant Pot.
2. Start with the black eyed peas. You do not even have to soak them overnight. You can just put them straight from the bag into the Instant Pot.
3. Cut the bag and pour all the black eyed peas into the Instant Pot.
4. Add two ham hocks. These will give a great smoky flavor.
5. Add the ham steak. This is going to be the meat of the dish.
6. Add the bones in there, too.
7. Add one chopped onion.
8. Add one chopped carrot.
9. Add a little bit of chunky garlic.
10. Add about one tablespoon of salt.
11. Add about one tablespoon of crushed oregano.
12. Add some fresh cracked pepper.
13. Add a little beef bouillon (about one tablespoon).
14. Add about four bay leaves (if you have big ones, just put two).
15. Add regular tap water, just enough to cover everything that is in the Instant Pot.
16. Stir everything well.
17. Close the Instant Pot.
18. Set the Instant Pot for an hour and a half on high pressure.
19. Let it do a natural release, and when it's done, it will come out perfect.
20. Open the Instant Pot. The broth smells amazing, the beans plumped up, the ham is tender and the hocks are falling apart.
21. Serve and enjoy!
