I didn't have any plantains, so I used sweet potatoes instead. They were a great substitute.

The ropa vieja was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Cuban food, but this recipe changed my mind. The ropa vieja is so flavorful and tender, and the plantains are the perfect side dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover steak or roast beef in my freezer, and this is the perfect way to use it up.
