Ropa Vieja




Ingredients:

1 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 1/2 lb flank steak or skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, quartered
1 tsp jarred jalepeño pepper, chopped
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cup frozen bell pepper strips
2 cup chopped canned tomatoes

Instructions:

Season steak with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1
tablespoon oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add steak
and cook 5 minutes, turning once to brown. Add onion and enough water to
cover. Cover the saucepan and simmer about 2 hours and 15 minutes, adding
water if necessary, until meat is falling-apart tender.

Remove meat from saucepan. Strain cooking liquid; discard onion. Shred
the meat with hands or two forks; set aside.

Heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add jalapeño pepper
and spice, cook 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant. Add pepper strips,
tomatoes, 2 cups of reserved cooking liquid and meat, remaining 1 teaspoon
salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix well; cook five to 10 minutes more to
heat through.

The seven deadly sins ... food, clothing, firing, rent, taxes, respectability and children. Nothing can lift those seven millstones from man's neck but money; and the spirit cannot soar until the millstones are lifted.
