Ropa Vieja (Cuban Beef) – Dorsum Off, Marie Kondo!

This Cuban braised beef dish literally translates to, “old clothes,” because patently some people idea it looked similar old, tattered clothing, but equally I touched on inwards the video’s intro, don’t brand this because of the cool name. Make this because it’s 1 of the most delicious dishes ever, together with volition most definitely spark joy.

Of course, you lot bring to hold upwards into big, bold flavors, since there’s aught subtle well-nigh the seasoning here. Above together with beyond a warning, that likewise should serve equally a reminder to suit the amounts below to agree your personal preferences. Compared to some recipes, my version is genuinely fairly subdued.

Some folks similar to braise the meat until it’s falling apart earlier trigger-happy it, but I prefer the method seen herein. I’ll ready the meat until it’s only starting to operate tender, together with then tear, together with complete it inwards the sauce. I believe that makes for an fifty-fifty improve texture, equally good equally mayhap absorbing to a greater extent than flavor, although I can’t test whatsoever of this. You tin also, role skirt steak, or large pieces of chuck, but flank is my favorite. No affair what you lot use, I genuinely promise you lot plough over these “old clothes” a endeavour soon. Enjoy!
