Food Friday: Cuban Braised Beef

Everybody loves a good slow cooker dish! I like to throw everything in the pot the night before while I'm cooking dinner, so I kill two birds with one stone and don't have to do a thing the next day besides take it from the fridge and turn it on! The Cuban Braised Beef recipe is from RealSimple.com and it's incredibly easy and straightforward. Use the link for the recipe! Two things I end up doing differently is using a 2-3 lb piece of chuck roast instead of the 1 1/2 lb of flank steak. Just because my grocery store never has flank, and I like to throw in more meat for leftovers. And I don't drain the tomatoes (there doesn't seem to be much juice in the ones I buy) and I add a can of chicken broth (I love spooning the juices onto the rice!). That was three things. Oh and when I add more meat, I don't double anything else and it tastes just as flavorful. My awesome husband dished up dinner so I neglected to take a picture! But the meat just falls apart...and don't forget the avacado, it totally makes the dish!
