Number Of Ingredients 23

2 lb beef chuck (flank steak, london broil or skirt steak) thinly sliced
1 large onion (sliced)
1 green bell pepper (sliced)
1 red or yellow bell pepper (sliced)
3 roma tomatoes (cut into strips)
1 jalapeno (optional if you would like a little heat) chopped
10 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 c cilantro (coarsely chopped)
2 c chicken or beef broth
1/2 c dry white wine
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1-2 bay leaves
1 can(s) crushed tomatoes, 16 oz
1 can(s) tomato paste, 6 oz
1 small jar of red roasted pepper strips
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp cumin
1 packet of Sazon (found in the international aisle)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp adobo (optional) found in the international aisle
1/2 c olives (rinsed, drained and cut in half)
2 tsp salt
1 lime (cut into wedges to sprinkle over ropa vieja once cooked)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut meat into thin strips. Season with salt and adobo if using. Can brown meat in a heavy skillet with a few tablespoons of oil if you would like. I normally just add most of the ingredients together to slow cooker.
  • 2. Add all ingredients to slow cooker on high for 4 hours or set to low for 6 hours except cilantro and olives.
  • 3. After 4 hours stir in cilantro and olives.
  • 4. Serve with white rice. Traditionally also served with stewed black beans.
