The Beef Ropa Vieja Recipe my Wife is OBESSESED With

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Used to have a Cuban girlfriend in high school in Florida. We’d visit her grandmother in ybor city occasionally for lunch. That lady put out 6-7 dishes, didn’t even eat, but watched me gorge with a smile on her face. This was one of those dishes!

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Learned this dish about thirty years ago, c/o my husband. Half-Spanish, most of his family was in Tampa and everyone loved Cuban food. Cuban food is AWESOME and still waiting for its day to shine in the spotlight.

I am so glad to see Chefs making Cuban food. It's nice to see people's take on our food. 😊

[@mdavis4930]

I love Cuban food but l want it prepared like its supposed to be. Some chefs like to add their own personal touch to a recipe and l feel like it loses its authenticity when they do it

[@janelynn2560]

Hello Chef, I made this recipe a couple nights ago for my family. I like the tip about cutting the flank steak into smaller portions. The ropa vieja turned out excellent. Very tender. I didn’t add the olives as my family doesn’t care for it. Also great tip to use beef broth instead of water (if you have some on hand) and searing the steak. I also made rice and beans. The leftovers were very good the next day. This is a keeper! You are a great teacher. Thanks!

Chef. I really appreciate your work. I have 3-4 Internet chefs for my “go to” for recipes and technique. Your videos are well done with great advice and suggestions. Thanks for your hard work and thoughtful presentation.

[@giovanni1269]

Am I glad to know that you made Ropa Vieja. This is one of my family’s favorite dish, I used to make it from a recipe that I found many years ago from Tony Danza. It was so delicious. Any way when I went back to look for the recipe, it was gone and for the life of me I couldn’t make it from memory and it wasn’t the same. Now I’m super happy to find yours and I don’t know if at one point I’ve made a comment in one of your videos to please make this. Any way I’m super happy that you made this and I will go ahead and make it this weekend. Thank you Chef!

[@rhondaelmore7836]

I had this in a restaurant once as well. I’ve searched for a good recipe for it ever since. I definitely will be giving your recipe a try.

[@kellie-u2i]

This was a winner. Love you have the recipe accessible! You Rock. I’m carnivore and new recipes are soooo welcome to keep me on track

[@joseperez-sy2tc]

Hello Chef, I came across your video as I was actually making some Ropa Vieja myself. I'm Cuban and have been making it very old school just like my mom. Your recipe looks great and I'll be making it your way moving forward. Love your content.

[@lourdesaguirreesponda]

[@FayeHolt]

I have used a good recipe for this but because your recipes take everything over the top,I am gonna make this next time...Love all your recipes...you are the greatest chef of all...

[@scottschulze2882]

Made this tonight for “family dinner” and it was amazing.

[@briangbonnell]

LOVE the olives in there!!!

[@woodstacker5241]

Best chef on the tube!

[@MichRules]

Without knowing you made right there the Venezuelan national dish "Pabellón criollo" we cook the ropa vieja slightly different, not so heavy with the tomato, we use anato dyed oil to make the "sofrito" and we add a local pepper called "ají dulce " a not spicy pepper but very fragrant. We serve it with "Caraotas negras" (black beans), rice and "tajadas" the sliced fried plantains. Nice recipe my friend ✨

[@tomparisi804]

Absolutely appreciate the portion sliders upgrade on your website!!!! Wonderful all around user experience!! Keep on cookin' 😁

[@bethmcgill5944]

Cuban food in Miami is phenomenal and visually appealing

[@markburch7967]

Thank you Chef👍 Love the channel and the website 🤗

[@emmgeevideo]

I have a great outdoor kitchen but dog-gone it, it's cold outside and not so much fun to cook out there for a while. This is the kind of recipe that will get me into the indoor kitchen for the same kind of fun and great flavors. Thanks!

[@HollyMolly-k5b]

Love ropa vieja ! With some nice frijolada mmmmmmm

[@eddiewilson8119]

One of my favorites!

[@tamsmith61]

I LOVE this!

[@jfrunn]

Also eaten along the carribean coast, of South America, called carne demechada or carne mechada. In Colombia and Venezuela. Cilantro is also great in the sofrito.

[@davidbobowski7243]

Awesome recipe...followed you've directions...AWESOME!

[@ThePapagonza]

[@chriscohoon3802]

Well looks like I know what am making this Sunday, thanks!

[@steven_90s]

Looking forward to trying this out tonight! Thanks for the info on "commis". In previous videos I always heard it as "homies" 😅

[@ancherrera]

Being Cuban, I wanted to come here, get on my high horse and tell you all the stuff you did wrong but I can’t! This is a very good and authentic version. The only variations from more traditional recipes are browning the meat, first but I confess I do that too because it’s better, and using cilantro which you pointed out is not traditional. I’m sure it tastes great though. Serving it with maduros and white rice just added insult to injury because that was my last chance to show my superiority, but you nailed that too! Great stuff.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching. I really try to do so much research before doing any ethnic recipes that I’m not overly familiar with making. I test them out and try to get them to taste as good as I possibly can using classical techniques. Thanks for the kind words.

[@emmgeevideo]

Commercial break: I went to Billy's web site and looked up the recipe. The slider is fantastic. I just wanted to make a half-recipe. Just starting this and will make the Cuban black beans too. I can hardly wait.

[@artie1694]

Try Vaca Frita next. That's a very addicting dish.

[@judygrayson7896]

Looks great but like with raisins or something sweet with the olives.

[@EmilioGarcia-fr5po]

Viva Cuba

[@whatissurge]

If you find culantro/recao use it along with the cilantro garnish

[@j.c.7555]

Where is your cookbook I could buy?

[@Blackie3107]

My Cuban mother-in-law says if you add small diced potatoes, it would be her mother’s recipe. Well done.

[@george.6556]

What size is that rondo pan?

[@mikeyd946]

I thought skirt steak was flank steak lol 😂 looks delicious!

[@tay7366]

I could make this with left over roast beef shredded?

[@N3pea]

Rondeau brand and size?

[@michaeldesilvio221]

I do this recipe with pork.

[@HanneleTuomi-k8b]

[@Bob-b7x6v]

[@patbagnell721]

I was gasping abit at the number of times salt was added to the recipe.

[@BRZZ-xw4hd]

[@outtathyme5679]

I don’t watch chefs who wear gloves
