Vaca Frita
If you're craving a taste of Cuba without leaving the comfort of your home, look no further than Chef Jose's Vaca Frita. This classic Cuban dish features skirt steak braised in a rich, aromatic broth until it's mouthwateringly tender before being crisped up in a pan. Accompanying the Vaca Frita are the traditional Cuban rice and beans (Arroz Moros), tender sweet plantains, and a piquillo pepper escabeche made with pickled mustard seeds, shallots, and herbs. Chef Garces’ Vaca Frita is full of the flavors of the Cuban home cooking but at the comfort of your table, available exclusively at CookUnity.

About Jose Garces
Iron Chef, father, husband, James Beard Award-winner, entrepreneur, and food innovator, Chef Jose Garces is known as a leading culinary authority of Spanish and Latin-American food.
From the Spanish tapas at Amada, his first restaurant, to the playful Japanese street food at Okatshe in Atlantic City, Chef Garces continually pushes the boundaries of culinary excellence.
While he maintains his successful career owning and operating full-service restaurants, Chef Garces is also looking toward the future, with an increased focus on bringing restaurant-quality experiences to the homes and businesses of culinary enthusiasts in new and interesting ways. From enhanced home delivery options and virtual online cooking demos, to live online cooking classes, Chef Garces is excited to connect with both fans of his work on television, as well as the home cook who’d like to experience “chef life” in their own kitchen.
As a child of immigrants and a leader in the diverse and inclusive hospitality industry, the wellbeing of his community in Philadelphia has always been dear to Chef Garces’ heart. To help provide ongoing and actionable assistance to the immigrant community, Chef Garces co-founded The Garces Foundation in 2011. The Garces Foundation provides services, including community health days, English language skills classes that target the restaurant industry, and most recently, an increased focus on procuring and providing food supplies to the food insecure.
Chef Garces is the author of two cookbooks, Latin Evolution and The Latin Road Home, published by Lake Isle Press.
