I got this recipe from a co-worker. Although there are other ropa vieja recipes on Recipezaar, i didn't see any that called for a crockpot. Sofrito can be found the frozen 'ethnic foods' sections, in a little tub. Sazon can be found in the dry 'ethnic foods' section, and it comes in a box full of little packets. Please note that Recipezaar will not accept one envelope of sazon as a measurement, so I had to call it 1oz , instead. Ingredients:
2 lbs flank steaks (one big flap) |
1 pinch salt and pepper |
1 onion, chopped |
1 bell pepper, chopped (any color) |
1 bay leaf |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
2 tablespoons sofrito sauce |
1 ounce goya sazon tropical |
8 ounces tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Season flank steak with salt and pepper and sear/brown on both siides. Place in crockpot.
2. Add remaining ingredients (except onion and bell pepper) and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
3. Saute onion and bell pepper until translucent. Add to crockpot.
4. Cook for another 4 hours on LOW or another 2 hours on HIGH.
5. Ropa vieja is done when you can shred it easily with two forks.
6. Serve over yellow rice, with or without fried plantains.
