Ready Made Meal Cuban-Style Slow-Cooked Beef

This was amazing! I enjoy these unique, full-flavored options that make lunch satisfying and delicious. The addition of plantains to the rice made me feel like I was eating at a restaurant. The slow cooked beef was so tender and had incredible flavors that energized my normally bland day.

I liked the recyclable packaging, and the taste was very good. I'd get this again. My 2 complaints were that it was a little light on the meat per serving (like four 1" chunks of beef per serving), and the servings were smaller than the servings with the HF meals I cook myself. We got 3 meals out of 2 x 2-serving packages. I added some of my own Goya fried plantains to the dish for a little extra flavor and substance.

Wow was this good. Will definitely buy again. So nice to have something ready to eat that tastes like we just cooked it for hours.

Enjoyed this very much. Nice flavor for something ready made. Plus not too bad in sodium.

My husband and I love the improvements made to the recipe. I like the smaller pieces of plantain and the stew meat and sauce has been much improved! Love it, don't change it!

This was by far my favorite recipe thus far. The sweet (plantains) salty combo was excellent

Meat was tender and tangy. Beans and rice were bland. Needs from freshness like cilantro or lime added.

The beef was bland and disappointing. Compared to good ropa vieja, I could not taste the garlic, spices, or chilies. The Cuban black beans and rice with plantain cubes saved this from being a total miss. Would recommend recommending customers add a squeeze of lime wedge and, if desired, cilantro.

This was the first time I used the ready made meal. There was not enough for 2 people as in your regular meals that you cook. The flavor was good in this one.

Loved the beef and I like fried plantains but the sweetness with the beans not so much. Liked the bites without plantains though.
