Instructions

  • Season flank steak with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat and when hot add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
  • Sear steak on both sides until nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Reserve on a plate.
  • Add remaining oil to the pot, then add garlic, sautéing for just a minute.
  • Next add the onions and bell peppers.
  • Once the vegetables are soft add the allspice, oregano, and cumin. Saute for another minute.
  • Stir in the wine and let simmer for a couple minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients through to the celery.
  • Return meat to pot, cover, bring to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, until meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  • Remove bay leaf, carrot, and celery from pot and discard.
  • Remove beef from pot and shred using 2 forks. Return beef to pot and turn heat up to medium.
  • Stir in the olives and parsley. Simmer an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings.
