Ropa Vieja – Cuba

Best known for being the national dish of Cuba, ropa vieja actually originated in Spain. This classic beef stew features shredded flank steak tossed in a flavorful sauce of tomato, onion, and pepper. While many traditional recipes simmer the beef in stock until tender before shredding and incorporating it into the separately made sauce, our one-pot version cooks the beef and the sauce together.
