Glad to see you post another great recipe

My grandmother’s “Vaca Frita” is slightly different in preparation she doesn’t shred the flank steak she simply boils it with a bay leave, then removes, pounds it and seasons with lime or sour orange, lots of crushed garlic and salt then heats “Manteca” (lard) in a heavy skillet and browns on both sides in the leftover drippings she sautee’s a bunch of onions cut into rounds, deglazes with lime, some salt and serves over the Vaca Frita.

Ropa Vieja made with Chicken is also tasty.
