Crockpot Ropa Vieja is a delicious Cuban beef stew, flavored with tomatoes, onions & peppers and cooked to perfection in the crockpot. It's the perfect easy weeknight dinner.
Score meat lightly and stuff pieces of garlic cloves into grooves.
Place peppers, onions, carrots and minced jalapeno pepper into bottom of crockpot. Place meat on top.
Mix remaining ingredients except for garnish and pour over meat.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Remove meat from crockpot and shred. I usually use 2 forks and pull meat in opposite directions to shred.
Remove bay leaf. Return meat to crockpot and stir.
Ladle into serving dishes then garnish with cilantro & a lime wedge. Serve with rice, tortillas or crusty bread, black beans, plantains and sour cream.
