Ropa Vieja is a traditional Cuban dish made with shredded beef that is slow-cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce with bell peppers, onions, garlic, and spices. The name "ropa vieja" means "old clothes" in Spanish and is said to have originated from the habit of slicing the beef so thin it resembles old, tattered clothes. The dish is typically served with white rice and black beans and can also be served in a sandwich or as a filling for tacos. It is a staple in Cuban cuisine and is known for its rich and hearty flavor.
