Why a 4 because all it needs is a lil kick for perfection....After cutting meat I immediately sprinkled it with fresh sea salt and peppercorn, added a bit of garlic powder and a dash of cayenne pepper. Then I immediately fried the meat in half of the oil to brown it a bit. Removed it and then added the remainder oil with vegetables etc...I knew it wouldn't have the heavier flavor we were looking for b/c of the previous comments. It is delicious. Less heavy then the traditional ropa vieja you get a latin restaurants that are saturated with oils. This is much healthier. Now, it's a 5. I added a lil of Adobo seasoning in the end.

Very authentic tasting ... incredible recipe. I'm allergic to wine and I substituted the wine with beef broth and it was still flavorful.
