This recipe needs a lot of improvement. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland.

I tried this recipe, and the beef was way too dry. I think I overcooked it.

This ropa vieja recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover flank steak or skirt steak. The meat is braised in a flavorful tomato sauce until it's fall-apart tender, and then it's shredded and served with rice, beans, and avocado. I loved the combin
