1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika, mild-flavored, preferably smoked paprika
1 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste
3 pounds raw lean sirloin, trimmed of any fat
2 medium red onions, thinly sliced into rings
2 large sweet red peppers, seeded, cored and chopped
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and shredded through the holes of a box grater

1/2 cups cilantro, leaves, packed, chopped

Here is how you make Crockpot Ropa Vieja:

* Whisk the broth, vinegar, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Submerge the meat, then add the onions, red peppers, apples, celery and garlic, making sure the vegetables are under, between, and over the steaks.* Cover and cook on low until the meat is fork-tender, about 8 hours.* Transfer the meat to a cutting board; set aside for 10 minutes. Shred the meat with two forks, pulling it into strands along the grain. Return to the slow cooker; stir in cilantro. Set the slow cooker on warm and serve within 4 hours. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BUN3KIN.
