Ropa Vieja in a Crock Pot

Everything in the slow cooker before...

Ropa Vieja is Spanish for old clothes. There is two dishes from Cuba that are considered the National Dish of Cuba. 1st is Arroz on Pollo, Chicken and Rice. The 2nd is Ropa Vieja, old clothes which is Shredded beef and Vegetables.

When I was down in Florida I tried a great classic Cuban dish called ropa vieja. It was was so good that I had to try to make it. It’s like a beef stew. I used a chuck roast but the classic recipes call for flank steak.

Great served with black beens as well ;-)

Traditional Cuban dish but very popular in Puerto Rico and the caribbean. This is what I call Comfort Food. Just add some white rice and tostones and you're set! ;-)

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.

def worth trying and so many ways to eat this!! great and so easy to do (except the part of tearing up the meat which is kinda boring but its worth it! !!

I love anything that I can cook in a crock pot... Dinner is just so much easier!!! With this recipe you make a simple gravy for it to cook in as well.

I wanted to use the crock pot for this recipe to really infuse flavor and achieve fork-tender pork. It is simple and hits the spot. Change it up and make it your own!

This is a very easy dinner to make. Everyone will enjoy it.

Rich in flavor, moist, fork shredding roast. This makes your whole house smell so good.

A Colombian-inspired recipe 🇨🇴. Due to their texture and toughness, beef ribs are ideal for slow cooking, in this case in a Crock Pot for 8 and a half hours, resulting in tender meat and potatoes infused with all the flavors of the cooking process.

Comfort 💓

I figured to try something new so I came up with my pot roast

A very easy and delicious version of good old pot roast

Delish. I use a 9x13" crock pot but any would do.

This is a recipe I put together today. It was delicious.

This is the easiest, most cheesie, most delicious lasagna ever. Awesome part is since its so big you'll have left overs!
