Instructions

1
Place flank steak in a pot, cover with water. Boil for 60-90 minutes until very tender. Remove and shred into thin strands with two forks.
2
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Sauté onion and bell peppers until soft, about 6 minutes.
3
Add garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook 1 minute.
4
Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and bay leaf. Simmer 5 minutes.
5
Add shredded beef, olives, and capers. Stir well.
6
Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes until all flavors meld and sauce thickens.
7
Serve over white rice with black beans on the side. Ropa vieja means 'old clothes' — the shredded meat looks like torn fabric.
