    Trim the meat of all fat and cut into 1 1/2-in. cubes.

Sprinkle with the flour and stir to coat evenly. Add the wine, tomatoes, olives, thyme, bay leaf, cayenne and saffron. Bring to a boil, stirring. Cover and add the pressure regulator. Reduce the heat and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, 20-25 min. Uncover as directed. Pour the beef into a serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped parsley if desired.
