No olives or capers??? confused
Thank you for such a well explained recipe!!! ❤
Thank you ! Love the way break things down in detail. Especially about the tomato’s burn notice . Very easy recipe. Look forward to seeing your other recipes. Keep up the good work .
Thank you for the video and the way you explain everything great video!!!
Can’t wait to make it 💕
Thank you so much for this recipe! It was a hit! I will be making it again this week
Iam new to pressure cooking so it's a learning curve. I tried your recipe tonight – it was simply fabulous. I listen to all the tips you spoke of – there's so much your basic manual doesn't cover. Thankyou for the knowledge that you and others pass on to newbies as ourselves. Looking forward to more great recipes. I started out almost panicking at the thought of using my machine -which is a Pampered Chef but I am gradually getting my confidence using my machine. Thank you!
Great recipe, tienen else authentic taste.:-)
Be still my heart … I have been craving ropa vieja, one of my favorite Cuban dishes, so I have to try this! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Can I put olives in the instant pot too
Omg 🤤🤤🤤 5 am here in Miami and I'm just dying for Publix to open so I could get a flank steak😁😁 I'm from PR but as soon as I tried Ropa Vieja it became my favorite cuban food. Thanks for the video👌
I love it! Reminds me of being back home in Miami. The only thing is I add green olives (por q that’s how I grew up eating it). I’ve altered it to make this recipe in the crockpot. There’s just something about slow cooking this meal and letting the scent draw you in all day. It makes that first plate true ecstasy.
Excelente receta, lo explicas muy bien y me gusta q pones la lista de los ingredientes en pantalla. Gracias , mucho éxito 👍🏻🥰
I have a 3 qt mini. Any suggestions on how to shrink the recipe to fit?
Ropa Vieja has always been my favorite Cuban Dish. I have been making it in the Crockpot but going to try the Insta Pot next.
Que es filete de falda, de qué lugar del vacuno es, acá en chile no lo ubico, gracias
I seem to remember my Yaya adding red wine vinegar to her ropa vieja. Have you ever used vinegar in your recipe?
Goya 👎
We loved the recipe. Really tasty. Thank you for a great video.
I love your style! So straightforward and also full of details! Great work! Please keep updating more Cuban recipes. I wanted to cook for my Cuban husband
Lana, I’m going to make this for my family this weekend. I have the DUO NOVA 10qt. How many lbs of flank steak can I cook in this instapot? I cooked your Piccadilly recipe for 40 using your recipe and following your video. Huge success! Thank you so much.
Que linda
Could you use any stove top pressure cooker instead of the "Instant Pot" you used in this video? Thanks.
By the way, I'm a "real Cuban" who wants to learn how to cook "Ropa Vieja". Note that I consider "real Cuban" as a person born in Cuba and came to the US at least after he or she spent from 6 to 28 years living in Cuba. So with that out of the way, I would like to know what's the difference between flank steak and skirt steak since I heard someone using "skirt steak" to cook "Ropa Vieja". Besides, I hope I don't offend anyone with my remarks about "real Cuban", for I came in 1980 to the US at a "tender age" of 27 going to 28; thus, I lived in Cuba until I was 27.
Keep doing cuban/Puertorrican recipes I was just gifted the instant pot and have no idea what to cook lol
When should I add the olives?
Thank you, love the step by step and tips, chuckled every time you said “the burn notice”…awesome videos 5 stars!
So Yummy and easy, I combines this with your black bean rice recipe with white rice
Great recipe. My whole family loved it. By the way, it makes great tacos from the leftovers. Thanks a million for sharing. 😀🌈👍
Amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing
I LOOOOVE Ropa vieja!!! I make it all the time in the slow cooker but I think this is what I'm going to Make when I break in my new duo evil. I've never been a instant pot fan But a RV In only 45 minutes maybe its saving grace? I also have a huge Chuck roast that I need to get rid of S well so I definitely will be introducing the to tomorrow. Unfortunately I was raised by a Cuban mother who Wanted to be a gringa And although She Is great in the kitchen She only cooks snooty Gringo food. Thank God for Cuban recipes On YouTube! Lol
Do you have a recipe list anywhere?
