Ingredients
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium heat. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper, then sear and brown the steak on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
To the same pot, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to taste.
Tuck the steak back into the pot, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until the meat is very soft and tender.
Remove the steak, shred it with forks, then add it back to the pot with olives and pimientos. Simmer another 10 minutes to warm through.
Garnish and serve with rice, black beans, and fried plantains for a complete and satisfying meal.
