Summary

"Old cloths" is the literal translation of ropa vieja, a Cuban dish made with leftover meat or flank steak that simmers until it falls apart.

For this quick version, I cut the steak into paper-thin slices and sauteed it first. Then I added it to the sauce for a few minutes to absorb the sauce flavor. The result gives the feeling and flavors of the traditional long-cooked dish without taking hours to make. Served with a 10-minute rice, this makes a great, quick, cool- weather dinner.
