Easy Shredded Beef Over Rice
Photo: Ralph Anderson; Styling: Rose Nguyen
This dish is known as ropa viejo (ROH-pah VYAY-hoh), Spanish for "old clothes." We like that Beth gave it a tasty twist by using fajita seasoning as a rub.
How to Make It
Step 1
Rub both sides of roast evenly with fajita seasoning.
Step 2
Cook roast in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until browned on all sides.
Step 3
Combine stewed tomatoes and 2 cups water; pour over roast in Dutch oven. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 4 hours or until roast is tender. Remove roast, and shred using 2 forks.
Step 4
Skim fat from tomato liquid in Dutch oven, and discard. Stir shredded beef into tomato liquid.
Step 5
Combine rice and parsley. Serve beef mixture over rice.

Oh, my kids go nuts over this! I make it often and freeze leftovers because it is so easy and flavorful. I agree about adding salt, and my husband and I also add Tapatio hot sauce to kick it up.

My go to meal for busy days. I put mine in the slow cooker after browning. I let it go all day at low and it is ready when we are. I decrease the water a bit as the slow cooker doesn't need it and can make it too watery. A little salt is also needed but otherwise a fantastic recipe!

I have made this recipes many, many times over the past few years and it is always a hit. My girlfriends have all started makeing this a few times a month as well. I add green peppers to mine and serve it with sour cream and flour tortila shells. My kids love it.
