    This Cuban take on a classic Italian dish has the best of both worlds.

    I ate this a lot growing up. My grandmother would season the beef and sometimes ham with lots of sazon, adobo, sofrito, bay leaves, fresh garlic, you name it. You can call this anything you’d like except for bland. This is incredibly flavorful. Your taste buds will scream.

    It’s not supposed to be saucy it’s supposed to be a tad bit on the dry side or maybe I remember it that way because my grandmother would have to call me a million times before dinner.
