Return beef to the Pot; stir in beef broth, potatoes, diced tomatoes, green chiles, oregano, garlic, cumin, chipotle chile powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow (10-15 minutes) for pressure to build.
