How to Make It
Step 1
Place the steak in a large saucepan. Add the tomatoes, onion, chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Simmer, covered, until fork-tender, about 2 hours.
Step 2
Twenty-five minutes before serving, cook the rice according to the package directions.
Step 3
Using two forks, shred the beef and mix it into the cooking liquid. Serve with the rice and top with the mango and cilantro.

I've made this dish a number of times, and it always tastes great! It's so easy to throw together, and leftovers are easy to reheat. My changes are that I use less meat, a big can of crushed tomatoes, and extra salt, pepper, and chili powder. If I take it off the heat too soon, it can be less tender. The mango and cilantro really make it different and new in my house. I wouldn't drain the tomatoes--more juice is necessary to reduce over time, and it makes the beef more tender. I'm making it again tonight, and the house smells amazing!

I really like this. It's so fast to prep and tastes great. I don't drain the tomatoes and garnish with green onions instead of cilantro.

So...are you supposed to drain the tomatoes or not? I'm about to make this and have no idea!

Sorry people...This cannot be Cuban; we do not use chili powder! Frankly, I really do not know what this dish is!

How did it taste, though? Did you make it as described in the recipe, or did you change anything...?

Would be VERY helpful to have calorie count and other info for this recipe. I'm watching what I consume and logging it and have no idea what to log for last nights supper ... :( :(
