A favorite of Latin American cuisine, ropa vieja or carne desmechada has a simply unmatched flavor and texture. Chef Ruben's take on this delicious Cuban dish features beef braised in a rich sofrito-infused tomato sauce until pull apart-tender. The roja vieja is served alongside a couscous salad featuring riced cauliflower, roasted broccoli, and a hint of orange zest to provide bright balance to the hearty beef. Together, they create a comforting meal that will make you feel like you're sitting in Chef Ruben's very own kitchen. It's not to be missed.
