Here because a lovely old couple dropped off some at my workplace. I rarely take foodstuffs but for this I’d happily make an exception.
I made this in 2020 for an ex and it was so damn delicious. I’m back in 2025 to make it for my husband!
Your instructions are perfect. Step by step. Thank you!
Vaca frita please I love it
Vaca frita
I just tried this last night and it was a hit. My boyfriend and his parents are Ecuadorian.. I totally surprised them with how good it was. They said it’s better than the Cuban restaurant they go to to get this meal. That’s a huge compliment. Thank you so much for this recipe. I wanted to learn how to make Spanish food for him. I’ll be making this from now on.
Thank you 😊 I love your videos 🎉
Our mom used to make this , but without the soy sauce or the olives. And it was not only delicious but the smells are amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Do you know how much water you use in this recipe? I don't want to use too much : ) Thanks!
This was amazing thank you so much
Can you make it with chuck?
Tried a vaca frita last night; epic fail. Husband is Boricua and I’ve Mexican’d him out because I’m from L.A. I felt so defeated. I just saved it with ur recipe and it’ll be better next time but it’s very passable now!!
I gotta use skirt or flank.. I never use anything else for this. But anyway im black and I make this for my white husband. This is my favorite dish and he absolutely loves this as well.

I am Puerto Rican and tried it,just like you said,came out delicious…
Where’s the sofrito?????
This is one of my favorite recipes that I've tried! I'm Dominican American and my husband is Puerto Rican and we absolutely love eating this. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. You make all of your recipes so easy to follow!
Can you pressure can this when it's cooked?
I LOVE the color of the meat
I've never had this, but it looks delicious! I've made birria for the first time on my son's birthday and it came out so good he was wanting more, so if I put in the same energy for Ropa Vieja, then winner winner, yummy Cuban dinner. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU.
I just made this 🎉 10/10 everyone loved it
What temp should I have the stove on for the 2-3 hour braising ? Low, Medium low, or medium ?
Ive had the Mexican version but this looks WAY BETTER
I've never made this and im just wondering if it's optional to use sofrito then? Most of the recipes i found use sofrito
Yummy love the shirt
