Loved it! It is simple and delicious. I served it to my Cuban in-laws who cook amazing Ropa Vieja and they loved it and said they wouldn't change anything. That was the test of the recipe for me!

How refreshing to find a slow cooker recipe that is truly for the working out of the home class! This was a true 8 hour slow cooker recipe. Fast and easy to assemble. I used 2 - 1lb skirt steaks so I chose to double the recipe for the other ingredients. Also, at the end of the cooking, before I got the rice started, I realized I had leftover quinoa which I had toasted pine nuts in it...I just dumped that straight from the fridge to the cooker and waited a few minutes. This was so flavorful, very juicy, so low in fat I didn't even skim any excess off as recommended and we actually ate ours with some fresh flour tortillas. This recipe is very akin to another I make that is more of a SW Arizona staple called machaca. The whole family enjoyed this - even the 3 and 5 year old princesses.

It was sooooo delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing. I added a jalapeno & Serrano pepper to give the dish a kick!!! It brought so much flavor. My children loved the food and is planning on taking it to school...I plan on taking some to work!!

This was awesome but I think I will use flank steak next time, I used skirt steak and it was a tad chewy even though it fell apart really easy. Flavor was incredible though, will definitely make this again, super easy and delicious!

Only 30 minutes on the Slow-Cooker. I can't wait. I've read all 6 reviews here twice now today and I can't wait to add mine. This is really easy to assemble so I'm hoping that I can just shrewd the skirt steak right in the slow-cooker...............stay tuned and I will let you know. My house smells amazing right now and were opening a great Spanish Red.

This recipe is so easy and so DELICIOUS! I followed the recipe exactly and I was so impressed. The only thing that I would take out next time are the jalapeño seeds only because my husband and I do not like spicy but that's just our preference. This recipe is phenomenal!

This is an excellent recipe and I agree with the other post to definitely NOT skip the olives. They are the best part!

I don't use my slow cooker enough. So I have been embarking on finding delicious ways to use this time saving invention. I have had some successes, but this recipe took the cake. OMG, this was good and I men smack your face good. It is almost like Barbacoa (Carribean BBQ Shredded Beef. The flavor of this dish was spot on. I put this together in my crock-pot and went to work. 10 hours later and we were ready to eat. The receipe says to take the meat out of the cooker after time has elapsed and shred it. I found you could just do that by moving the meat around with a fork. My roommate took some to work and all of the ladies were jealous. She came home with orders!! This is going to make it into my monthly calendar of foods to make. What little I had left over is getting frozen for a week so I can see how well it freezes. I am hoping well!!
