Best Beef Stroganoff

Cuban Ropa Vieja

This Cuban dish literally translates to “old clothes” because the shredded beef reminds people of tattered, threadbare clothing. The dish tastes nothing like cloth, though — the beef is fork tender and the tomato sauce is complex with typical Cuban seasonings, like cumin.

Slow-Cooker Beef Short Ribs

“Best short ribs recipe ever! It’s so flavorful and easy to make. Once the ribs were cooked I removed them from the sauce, strained the sauce and removed the grease from the sauce. I then added the onions back to the sauce and used an immersion blender to make a wonderful gravy that did not need any additional thickener.”
