Method

Ropa Vieja

Cook the Flank Steak

In a large pot, add flank steak and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 hours until tender. Shred the meat.

Prepare the Sauce

In a skillet, heat some oil and sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft. Add tomato sauce, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shredded meat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Mojo Chicken

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 2 hours.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook marinated chicken for 30-40 minutes until fully cooked.

Lechon Asado

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, sour orange juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Roast the Pork

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the pork in a roasting pan and roast for 4-5 hours, basting occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
