Ropa Vieja (Cuban Style Stewed Shredded Beef) Ropa Vieja (Cuban Style Stewed Shredded Beef)
Ropa Vieja (ROpah vee-EH-hah) translates literally from Spanish as “old clothes,” so named because you cook the beef, then shred it up, like tattered old clothes.And with flavors of slow cooked beef stewed in a rich sauce of onions, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, cumin, bay, and oregano, it’s no wonder it’s among the best loved dishes in all of Cuban cuisine.Some recipes call to braise the beef first with all the flavorings and then shred. I prefer to boil the beef first, cool and shred, and then stew it with all the seasonings. I find it cooks up more tender this way. There’s not that much active time to make the dish, but it does take about an hour and 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish. The part where you boil the beef can be halved by cooking it in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes, if you have a pressure cooker.Serve with steamed rice (in Cuban cuisine, they usually add a little salt and oil to their steamed rice). Alternatively, it would also be delicious over risotto or polenta.Leftovers are great in tacos and burritos. Use a little less liquid, and it makes a delicious empanada filling.

Ropa Vieja from Cocido Ropa Vieja from Cocido
We make ropa vieja from cocido using leftover chicken, beef, and chickpeas after preparing a good Sunday cocido.When I was a kid at my parents' house, we always asked for extra chickpeas in the cocido so we could have ropa vieja the next day, haha.
