Crock Pot Ropa Vieja (Beef, Peppers, and Onions)
Recipes » Main Dish » Slow Cooker
Ropa Vieja is one of those "dishes that keeps on giving." It is supposed to be shredded beef. But when I serve it, it's more like a stew, with chunks of meat. Then when it's cool, I get in there and shred the meat with my hands. It takes only about two minutes and is so much easier than using forks. Then I serve it over spaghetti squash, or, for yet another option, serve in low-carb tortillas with avocado and cilantro.
"We loved this recipe. I always order this when we visit a local latin restaurant. I actually thought this was tastier. I didn't have celery so I added a little celery seed. I love bay leaves, so I added about 5-6. I also added about 1/4 cup red wine. The color and texture was excellent. I will make this over and over. I love crockpot dishes. Thanks for sharing.

Tasty, spicy and fairly easy to make. I added red wine which made extra sauce. Excellent cold weather dish over steamed rice.

Great. I needed to add some beef broth after a few hours on high so the liquid would cover the meat and stay juicy.

OMG this was so good. And really easy. My picky 13yo loved so much he asked for 2nds.
