Kind of mixed this with Alejandro's recipe. I loved the use of sofrito, but I will leave the capers out next time. Carole of Orlando

the recipe has good flavor and texture. skirt steak was too expensive at the market, so i used brisket. this means i had to cook it for almost 5 hours to get the meat to a point where i could easily pull it into shreds. as the liquid kept reducing, i just added a little water.
