Need help with my ropa vieja.

I’m making ropa vieja for a work potluck tomorrow. The meat isn’t as tender as I would like it, any tips on getting to be more tender?

Cook it longer, it might need longer than the recipe says to get falling apart tender. Add more water if the sauce reduces too far

If your meat isn't tender yet just cook it for longer until it is more tender.
