Everyone who's complaining about the authenticity of his dish needs to understand something. As a former New Yorker who grew up on pernil, arroz con gondules, and platanos finding certain ingredients when you live outside of key cities can be impossible. Making homemade sofrito (a key part of almost every Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban dish) is just not gonna happen when you live outside of New York, Florida, or California. He's trying to replicate that flavor profile while making it accessible to his followers. I'm willing to give it a chance and try it out. After all, I've made about 8 of his recipes and he hasn't steered me wrong yet.... Plus, I REALLY miss certain dishes. I'll let you know how it goes. 🤷🏿♀️😋
@@theescaperoom1113 // (Disclaimer * I am an African American home cook from Brooklyn.) Let's be real, the challenge of sourcing ingredients for homemade sofrito is gonna be the culantro and the sweet peppers. (The culantro having the biggest impact.) There's an herbaceousness and a very mild pepperyness represented by those two ingredients that need to be accounted for. I've made quite a few of Stephen's ITALIAN recipes with great success, so I trust his palate. Had I ACTUAL sofrito I would test this recipe by leaving out the jalapenos. I would add olives and caper juice for that umami. (That being said, I would still have them on hand cause you never know.) Homecooks cook according to TASTE and recipes evolve all the time. Respectfully, there's no real WRONG way to make something. (That might be why he decided he wanted some heat in his.) All stewed meats follow the same process anyway. (Season and brown the meat, sweat vegetables, deglaze, build your base according to taste, assemble everything together in the pot then slow cook, reduce/ finish sauce, final seasoning.) All respect to abuelas everywhere, unless she watches you prepare it (and she might 😏) as long as it's made with love and true intent she's gonna praise your final product. She might not even notice that specific ingredients are missing. (Even if in her mind she's telling herself hers is better, regardless of it actually is or not.) 😁😉
I make mine very similar to this, with 2 main differences; 1) I find that if I simmer the bell peppers for hours, they just disintegrate. So I add 1 pepper worth at the start for the flavor, then add the other 2 peppers about 20min from the end, so they just soften but don't fall apart. that way they provide a nice texture to the finished dish. 2) instead of making yellow rice, I just use 1c water and the rest of the liquid I take from the simmering pot, so the rice is infused with that flavor of tomato and spices. Shortens the grocery list a bit.
Time and again I have said I don't like soup and stews. I can gladly say after trying this out last night that I can officially retract that statement. The flavor in this was absolutely incredible. Thanks chef!
Wicked recipes Brotha! I've been watching for a few months now and my daughters thank you! I thank you! My kitchen has completely changed. This meal is on this weekends shopping list.
Dude!! How awesome you are to cook my most favorite dish on your channel. I love this, and I am as white Anglo-Saxon as they come. I was once married many moons ago to a Guatemalan woman and her mother would cook this at least three times a month. It’s my belief that she perfected this dish since her departed husband was from Cuba and made it for him probably just as often. She always served it along with boiled yuca, smothered in butter, garlic and lime juice, and fried plantains. Makes my mouth water my dude. 🤤
That Lundberg rice is the BEST! We buy it regularly, mostly the California basmati. Nothing like it! Fragrant, delicious, perfect every time. The package says 20 min- it comes out best for me at 18 min, then rest 5 min , fluff w/fork. You don’t have to wash it, just add a pat of butter and a tsp of Better-than-Boullion chicken to pot. I love it for anything that goes with rice. I use Jasmine for Thai or other Asian dishes. The point of washing the rice is to make sure it doesn’t clump, and each kernel is separate- but cook it like I do, it’s perfect and fluffy.
Your Ropa Vieja is cooking in my oven as we speak and the smell is over the top amazing! Followed the recipe exactly and I can't wait. Going to make the rice and make the plantains another time. Thank you for making food with tremendous flavor! Always look forward to your videos
Reminds me of travels in Panama. Tiny restaurant in Casco Viejo smelled of Ropa Vieja. I spent part of the afternoon making this and it brought back good memories. Thanks for showing the way.
As a Cuban American I can say this version is Amazing!! Delicious customization to it. Just leave the jalapeños out of it, that’s a big no no. Also, a non sweet white wine works better. However, the way he made it is not the authentic Cuban version recipe but this is certainly a very delicious Americanized way to make it!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. LOVED IT!!! We can Americanize everything and make it work for our pallets. Just like his very delicious Americanized Italian dishes. Yumm yumm.
Also I want to add that he probably elevated and sophisticated our original, delicious but rustic recipe somewhat. Except those jalapeños. No jalapeños. Other than that it’s fantastic and thank you for even considering making it.
Thank u..this is a dish I’ll b I’m making n following ur instructions..love d rice version&.,cooking d plantains in d oven instead frying in oil🤯going to do this❤
If you omit his pickled jalapeno step, you might want to replace it with a teaspoon of pickle/olive/caper juice if available as this dish works best with the slightest touch of savory-sour
@@brentsmith7013 I usually use olives and olive juice that I add right at the very end. I don't think Cuban food dips into spicy very often, but tradition-shmadition, personally next time I make it I'm going to add in a dash of spicy pepper and see how I like it.
I love ropa vieja and this makes me miss the Cuban restaurant that used to be within walking distance. It was so good. I just might need to make it myself. They served theirs with black beans and rice, and while I have made maduros many times, I've never done in the oven, those actually look like they caramelized well.
Glad to see some Cuban recipes on the channel. For the rice you don't need to wash it, just put a bit of oil in the cooking pot and cook at medium heat until transparent (starch changes into something else), almost golden if you like the roasted flavor. Then add your spices, water, etc., and cook as normal.
@@brendanckeenan Yes, I do that with any rice, the main principle is that the starch transforms and the rice cooks nicely after that. In Cuba we do all sorts of yellow rice, rice and beans, etc., and it always works.
I never had much exposure to cuban food growing up, other than maybe the occasional cubano. I was in my late 30's and working in Burbank and took lunch at Porto's for the first time with several colleagues when I first tried ropa vieja... I didn't feel like a cubano although theirs are amazing. And I had had the potato balls and a few pastries but hadn't actually been to the place myself. So my introduction to ropa vieja was with Porto's sandwich version and I was immediately a fan. It fits a really great space like maybe halfway between chili colorado and beef stew, two other dishes I would have a hard believing anyone doesn't love. Just such a perfect comfort food.
I love this channel bro everything's perfect. Whenever you get the chance you could explore dominican cuisine if you're into that. Keep up the good work!!
My only critique is the choice of music. This is a Cuban dish play Cuban music. Like Rumba!!! His food is experimental guys. Keep that in mind!! Looks amazing
Wow Steve, you're hitting all my classic favorites. I'm going to try this this weekend. In the meantime, I was wondering if you had any plans to try Pernil. I've been dying for a good recipe for that. I've made probably 25 of your recipes and all have been frigging fantastic.
With those onions i put a table spoon of honey, thats my way to make it more sugary without carrots. But thats a HUGE flavor bomb. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Take a wet pastry brush a wipe down the inside of the pot. You got more maillard caramel goodness on the inside of the pot than you should miss. You can deglaze the side of a pot too, not just the bottom.
Hey man love all the episodes and recipes I've tried so many of them and they all rock! About to actually try another one today! If you see this comment I'd love to see your take on my all time favorite frutti di mare with white sauce (or og red). i hadn't seen it on your channel but maybe you have something similar under another name. Anyway keep it up!
Woohoo, my family wanted a beef dish for the weekend, but they didn't want stew or pot roast. Perfect timing on releasing this video! And added bonus - get an excuse to visit the local butcher shop! 😅
Everything looks just gorgeous. One question. Have you ever tried to use Afghan pressure cooker for such dishes? The device's price is quite fair, and it helps to reduce cooking time up to 5 times. So roupa vieja could be done in one our instead of four.
As a Puerto Rican, i know this isn't the traditional way to make Ropa Vieja, the plantains, or the rice. That being said, I'll eat the sin out of this version.
The musical choice of Colombian Cumbia for a primary Latin Caribbean dish was weird. It would be like playing Country music when making a video about New York pizzas.
Dude, you need to do me a pernil.... I've tried to get it right, but I'm always a few centimeters off. I love it with yellow rice and pigeon peas, and sweet plantains, and with beans. I like black beans better, but if they have it, I get half red beans half black beans... Mmmmmm mm... I'll try this one, but with less peppers I think.....
Man, Cuban ropa vieja has absolutely nothing to do with Spanish ropa vieja, in Spain it is made with the leftovers of a cocido madrileño (at least in Madrid) and some eggs and onions. I feel like the name makes a lot more sense here, that is a pretty elaborate dish compared to ours
The flavor in this was fantastic. However, between the salted layers, the bouillon, the Sazon, and the Adobo, it was way too salty. The rice was too salty as well. Next time I make it I might leave out the bouillon. Fantastic flavor, though. Another keeper from you!
Here in the extreme south of Brazil, we call it Roupa Velha (old clothes) but we usually make it with leftovers. It is also possible to mix everything in a tray and brown it.
I will beg, borrow and steal from this recipe... but I think some saffron will somehow find its way into my "yellow rice"... as a paella. Actually, some rabbit and chicken might make it in too... with a scrape of partially pan-toasted bomba-rice near the end of cooking in the paella pan. Old clothes paella!
Can any American fill me in on what this “adobo powder” has? It’s interesting to me because I’ve never seen anything of the sort here in Spain. Would like to see if it has anything to do with the flavor profile you’d find in something that is adobado (adobo-ed) here or if it’s some weird mix with the Filipino dish, or just completely made up.
Can anybody who has made this tell me how many servings it makes? 2lbs of meat is obviously a lot but only one cup of rice and one plantain doesnt seem like enough for 3-4 people?

Good recipe. Works well with black beans over rice also
Well this looks much better than what I had for dinner, love it!
What a great recipe!!! I've wanted to make this for my Dad, but without the fries ... it's so much nicer with the rice.
I love this channel bro everything's perfect. Whenever you get the chance you could explore dominican cuisine if you're into that. Keep up the good work!!
My only critique is the choice of music. This is a Cuban dish play Cuban music. Like Rumba!!!
His food is experimental guys. Keep that in mind!! Looks amazing
how about, he plays whatever damn music he pleases.
one of my favs. I usually make the chicken version as a filling for arepas. time to try the beef one
In Brazil we have a similar recipe and we call it "carne loca", usually served in a bread roll.

Nice. My family always fries the maduros in oil - makes them a bit greasier but IMO tastes way better than made in the oven.

Aye nice! Been eating this since childhood
My fav ❤❤❤
I used to get this at a Cuban place in NJ. It was best with Martino Power (his homemade hot sauce).
I would love to see someone make a rice and beans recipe 🤤

First. Love the vid, keep em coming!
traditionally meat pieces are cooked to craft a beef broth… the toughest parts are then shredded easily… and the sweet plantains definitely fried:)
never seen plantains cooked like that, i always make my maduros in a pan and shallow fry them with a bit of brown sugar
Please don't stop your method.. it's closer to authentic than this
Oh man that's what I call comfort food. I'm trying it.
I've done Ropa Vieja before, but this looks like a keeper. Also gotta take a look at Thrive Market.
Love your content 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I would have thought that (like with Paella) you use Safron to make the rice yellow?
💚
I wonder if it can be finished in a slow cooker instead of the oven, as I don't own a casserole with a lid like that. Has anyone tried that?
I'm starving!
As a Puerto Rican, i know this isn't the traditional way to make Ropa Vieja, the plantains, or the rice. That being said, I'll eat the sin out of this version.
Make pernil next with arroz con gaandules!
Does it have to be flank or can you also use other lean cut like sirloin?
You can Try skirt steak as an option
That orbital onion cut was on point son 😎🍻🤘
Steve, wow, thx... A big glob of sofrito on the rice plz...
Where are the olives? Every Cuban place I ever tried this dish in Miami had olives incorporated?

Its stew cooked like pot roast. I'll take either over ropa vieja.
Would adding some chocolate be a good idea?
Ropa vieja is a goated dish name
I love that this is your take on it and it came out really good. But this is not Ropa Vieja as we make it in Panamá or the Caribbean.
Everytime you say at the end "take care..." i always add Cugine's "brush your hair"
Here in the extreme south of Brazil, we call it Roupa Velha (old clothes) but we usually make it with leftovers. It is also possible to mix everything in a tray and brown it.
In America we throw left overs away a crap into clean water .

From rags to richness (of flavor)
the Plaintains needs to be really soft to taste the best. I prefer to fry them, they come out like candy.

OMG do you recall that time you fell asleep in your bathtub and then woke believing that you were a mermaid? HILARIOUS
I’m sure the Cuban cuisine police will come for you for the jalapeños but I’m good with it.
Jalapeños AND yellow rice. If he lived in Miami, my man would be found dead on Calle 8 before the sun rises.
As a Mexican-Cuban this recipe slaps
I just spit my water out! As a Cuban, I could not agree more.@@whowantstorunforpresident5531
