Crockpot Vaca Frita
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.
