Cuban Beef Stew Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This recipe for cuban beef stew is known as ropa vieja which means "Old clothes" In spanish. The name describes the shreds of meat and vegetables in the dish which resemble colorful strips of rags. This beef stew is hearty enough to eat on its own but also goes well over rice dishes and soaked up with crusty bread. The beef must be cooked and shredded first. For convenience, you can prepare the beef the day before and refrigerate overnight to save time the next day. In this spanish version of ropa vieja, garbanzo beans are used in place of the peas used in this recipe. This can be served with low-carb tortillas, avocado, and cilantro.
