Shredded Beef Ropa Vieja
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds beef flank steak
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding a generous amount of vegetable oil. Place the flank steak inside and cook until it develops a rich brown color on both sides, taking approximately 4 minutes for each side to achieve this.
2
Transfer the steak to a slow cooker and pour in beef broth, followed by tomato sauce. Add a spoonful of concentrated tomato paste, along with sliced bell pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chopped cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of vinegar; ensure everything is well combined.
3
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for an extended period of up to 10 hours, or High for a more expedient 4 hours.
4
Shred the steak in the slow cooker using two forks.
