Well, I had the impulse of writing down a recipe for this whilst reading the Introductions forum. This here is a recipe of a classic Cuban dish which's name translates to: Old Clothes.

1/2 Green bell pepper, chopped
3 Garlic cloves, minced
3 Tblsp. Olive oil
2 pounds Shredded flank steak
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Pimenton (Spanish paprika. It has a sweeter taste than the latter; though ye can use paprika)
1 can Tomato sauce

(Ye can substitute the above for fried, pureed tomato)
1 cup veal or beef broth/white wine/Mexican (or if ye can Cuban) beer
Salt and Pepper
---subrecipe---

Water
1 Garlic clove, peeled
Lard
Salt and pepper

---subrecipe---
Boil the meat with all the ingredients (salt and pepper as well) until tender (2-3 hours).
Cool and shred the meat, saving 1 cup of broth.
---------------
Add the onion and pepper to a pot, along with the oil. Sautée and then add the garlic, oregano, pimenton (carefull not to burn it, for it bitters the dish).
Add the tomato sauce and paste, the meat and the broth, letting it cook in medium flame for aproximately 45 min. (until the sauce thickens). Season to taste.

Cook rice in normal way. Brown 1 clove of garlic in bacon grease. Add grease to the cooked rice and mix well.
