Method

Ropa Vieja

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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

  1. 3

    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.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

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

Lechon Asado

  1. 5

    Prepare the Marinade

  2. 6
