Ropa Vieja is a stewed, shredded beef (traditionally a flank cut or chuck roast) slow cooked with lots of spices, vegetables, and juices, and is absolutely packed with flavor. Ropa vieja translates to "old clothes" in Spanish because that's what the dish resembles, plus this dish is a staple in Cuban culture and history.
This Instant Pot version of a classic recipe uses a chuck roast and takes just minutes of prep before it's ready to throw into the pot and pressure cook. Serve with rice, black beans, and platanos maduros (sweet plantains) for the full, delicious experience!
