Pabellón Criollo

Boil or braise the beef for 1–1.5 hours until tender, then shred it.

Sauté onions, garlic, and tomatoes, then add cumin, salt, and pepper.

Add the shredded beef to the sofrito and simmer for 15–20 minutes.

Warm the beans with some onion, garlic, and salt.

Cook the rice separately, then slice and fry the plantains until golden.

Serve everything on one plate: rice, beans, beef, and fried plantain.
