Made this for Jen and she loved it, has been asking for the recipe to be posted here. Of course, I lost it and it’s taken me 3 months to find it online again. So, saved here for all time…Ropa Vieja. Carribean/Cuban Beef Stew in the Crockpot. So named because when done right, the meat should ‘fray’ the way old clothes do in the wash.
