I saw this recipe a while ago and was looking forward to making it since then. Last night I finally gave it a shot, putting it in burritos with black beans covered in homemade mole sauce. It tasted and smelled delicious the whole way through, until the broiling. I had planned on broiling for ten minutes, but everything was burned horribly after less than five and I had to discard almost half. Anyone making this should try and keep a very close eye on it once it’s in the broiler.

I look at the picture, read the ingredient list, look at the picture again — and I’m drooling already. This is bookmarked: thanks! I have flank I can thaw out to satisfy the craving this entry caused.

jamie – I’d put the flank steak, citrus, salt, onion and 1 cup water in the crock pot. When you’re ready to eat, shred it with a couple of forks, spread it all out on a cookie sheet and broil for 10 minutes.

Thanks everyone!

you’ve got me on this one – it looks scrumptious – after i try it your way i’m going to boil some potatoes till almost done, dice them and add them to the onions when sauteing. probably dice some bell peppers and add at the same time. when done, i’ll scramble some eggs with this included or perhaps use some in a burrito. thanks for the great idea – so sorry for the missing capitals and punctuation – my keyboard’s shift key just stopped working

Ooooh that sounds awesome. My mind is going immediately to doing the meat to tender in the crock pot or even using this recipe/method for a neat twist on pulled pork – what do you think? (I’m on a crock pot kick :P)

Vaca Frita is one of my fave Cuban dishes too (out of many). This looks fabulous! My favorite little Cuban place closed down a few months ago. Now, I’m missing it even more!

This really would make a perfect panini! A great way to use the leftovers :)
