Fork-Tender Meat
The key to a successful Ropa Vieja is flank steak. The reason: this type of meat is the perfect candidate for a low, slow cooking process; as the meat slowly cooks in the simmering liquid, the fat and connective tissue melt, and baste the meat from the inside out. The results: fork-tender meat that shreds effortlessly. If flank isn’t available at your market, skirt steak and chuck work great, too.

So glad I found this recipe, everyone loves it.

I used venison tenderloin instead of flank steak. It was so good, my husband almost finished six servings in one sitting! This is in the go-to recipes permanently!

Love this recipe! Have made it with beef, chicken and pork. And I think shrimp would be wonderful as well. Next time am going to make it vegetarain. The broth is so good that I keep it and make soup with the remainder. And everyone I have ever served this to wants the recipe. You cant go worng and its easy. I dont add the olives but that is a personal choice.
