Ingredients
Directions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the flank steak and sear on both sides until browned. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute.
- Return the seared flank steak to the pot. Add the beef broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the flank steak is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
- Remove the flank steak from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard the bay leaf.
- Return the shredded beef to the pot and mix it with the sauce. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt, to taste.
- Serve the Cuban Ropa Vieja hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy with rice and black beans, if desired.
