The other day I had a craving for ropa vieja. I tried out this recipe I found via Googling best ropa vieja recipe.

Recipe

Ultimate Ropa Vieja (National Dish of Cuba)

Equipment

Nest Protect knows when I'm searing beef! Had to open the windows

The outcome

This was okay, though a bit sour. My 8 year old son took one bite and refused to eat it.

Notes for next time

I used flank steak which is a tough cut of meat. The recipe actually used a chunk of chuck which would've been more tender and fatty. Next time I'll try using chuck
I ended up using the whole 26 oz. can of crushed tomatoes instead of the 16 oz. the recipe called for. Maybe next time I'll measure out the exact quantity.
Next time I'll try a different recipe
