VACA FRITA
Steps:
- To a large pot, add steak, bay leaves, carrot, tomato, cumin, and oregano and cover with water. Boil the meat until it becomes tender, then remove from the liquid, and shred the meat. Into a very hot saute pan pour 1/8 cup olive oil, then add the meat, making sure to spread it out evenly. Flip it over and cook until both sides become crispy. In a separate pan, add the remaining oil and cook the onions until caramelized, then mix in the meat, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
VACA FRITA (SHREDDED BEEF)
A wonderful Cubano recipe that can use a variety of beef cuts - flank steak is too dear for me but skirt steak & bottom round roast have responded well for me. Serve with white rice & lime wedges - the little key limes if you can get them. Found in the Miami Herald & adapted from !Sabor! A Passion for Cuban Cuisine.

Steps:
- Bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil in a large stock pot. Add the bay leaf and meat, reduce heat, cover and simmer 2 hours.
- Drain the meat and let it cool to room temperature on a plate lined with paper towels. Use your hands to shred it along the grain into strips.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper and place it in a shallow, nonreactive dish. Pour on the citrus juices and let it marinate at least 30 minutes. Drain the meat and set it aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat until it is almost smoking. Add half the meat and half the garlic; sauté, stirring often, 7 to 10 minutes. Add half the onions and sauté about 5 minutes, until the edges of the beef become crispy.
- Transfer the mixture to a large plate. Repeat sautéing with the remaining ingredients. Serve with rice and lime wedges.

VACA FRITA
I was 'turned on' to Vaca Frita after a good friend of mine married a man of Cuban descent. I was glad she did (marry him) because I discovered many good recipes since then and this one is my favorite.

VACA FRITA (PAN-FRIED BEEF)
This is one of my favorite Cuban foods. It reminds me of the countryside. I like this with black bean soup and rice and either platanos maduros (fried ripe plantains) or tostones (fried pressed plantains). You could also serve with black beans and rice cooked together. A spicy Cabernet Sauvignon would go well with this dish.

VACA FRITA (CUBAN SHREDDED BEEF)
Absolutely wonderful! Simmered beef marinated overnight in lime, lemon and garlic, then sauteed with onion until slightly crispy (then I like to blast it with more fresh-squeezed lime juice!). The technique is almost like making homemade roast beef hash (without the potato). Prep time includes marinating beef overnight. Cook time is combination of two days (simmering of beef, then sauteeing).

Steps:
- Simmer roast with bay leaves in a Dutch oven on the stove until tender, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Cool at room temperature; reserve cooking water for another use if you wish.
- When beef is cool, shred and place in a glass container.
- Combine lime juice, lemon juice and garlic; mix into meat.
- Season with salt and pepper and marinate overnight.
- (The sirloin roast is excellent at"soaking up" the juices!) Next day, remove meat from marinade, squeezing excess liquid (if you need to; I normally don't) and fry in a large skillet in olive oil until slightly brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add thin onion slices and parsley and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, until onion is tender and meat is well-browned.
- Squeeze more lime juice on meat and serve over rice.

- Season the flank steak with 1 tbs of salt and 1 ½ tbs of garlic powder on each side. Cut the flank steak into four rectangular/square pieces. Place the steak in a pressure cooker along with ½ an onion, ½ green pepper, and 4 garlic cloves. Add 4 cups of water (this should be enough water to cover the meat). Cook under pressure for 10 minutes.
- While your flank steak is cooking, squeeze in 1/3 cup of orange, lemon, and lime juice. Stir together. Add the cumin, oregano, and black pepper and mix to combine. Also, at this time, cut the remaining onions into strips and mince the remaining garlic cloves.
- Once the flank steak is done cooking, remove from the pressure cooker and shred into pieces using two forks.
- Heat 6 tbs of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shredded flank steak and half of the onions and all the garlic. Stir to coat with oil and let it cook for five minutes. After five minutes add about 1/3 of the citrus and seasoning mixture and stir. Let it cook for another five minutes without stirring so that the steak starts to become crispy. After these five minutes, add the remaining onions and another 1/3 of the citrus and seasoning mixture and stir to combine. Allow to cook for another five minutes and add the remaining citrus and seasoning mixture. Cook for another five minutes. Each time you mix the steak, you should notice that the steak in the bottom is becoming crispy.
