Ropa Veija Slow-Cooker

This is a new recipe for us and it was very good. I think I will use a pot roast instead of flank steak (personal choice). the flank steak did come out tender. I served as a side dish frozen sweet plantains and baked then in the oven for 20 minutes. They were so good. Ropa vieja, which is Spanish for "Old Clothes," is a popular dish of the Canary Islands, Cadiz, Greater Miami and the Caribbean, especially Cuba, Panama, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. This recipe came from the Cortese family.

1 lb flank steak

1/4 cup olive oil

1 onion

2 garlic cloves

1 green pepper

1 15oz jar of tomato sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vino seco (white wine in the latino section of grocery store, white wine will suffice)

1 can pimentos.

Chop onion and green pepper. Add all ingredients to crock pot. Cook on low for 8 hours. Serve with yellow rice and plantains.
