Crockpot Vaca Frita
Crockpot Vaca Frita     
by Marta's Cuban American Kitchen
Serves: 4  



Notes:Simultaneously juicy and crisp it's a Cuban staple that goes great with balck beans, white rice and maduros.


Directions:

1) Season the meat with salt and pepper and place in the crockpot.
2) Add dry white wine and bay leaves
3) Add beef broth and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Or low for 6-8 hours.

This next part only takes about 15 minutes:

4) Remove the cooked meat from crockpot. It should shred easily at this point.
5) Add the garlic to the cooling meat.
6) Squeeze the lime onto the meat.
7) In a large skillet, sauté the sliced onion, sliced bell pepper and parsley in the olive oil until the onion gets a little limp, but not completely transluscent. Add the meat, and the cumin, stir-frying until the meat is hot again and slightly crispy on the edges.
