Ropa vieja is a classic Caribbean dish of shredded beef stewed in a flavorful tomato-based sauce with peppers, onions, and spices, traditionally made with flank steak or chuck roast that is slow-cooked until tender. The name means "old clothes" in Spanish, referring to the shredded meat's appearance. It's typically served with white rice, black beans, and other vegetables.
