just like how the old school ricans make it. House always be smelling good, music playin and there is nothing better then having a family and friends enjoy this Puerto Rican tradition. Thanks for making these videos pa.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I tend to forget every now and then how to prepare this beloved dish and I am so thankful to have this video for reference and to refresh my memory. Please keep them coming!
For you youngens , Cuba here. That is how is supposed to be done, your preference but keeping it traditional made is using rubber bands. Born and raised in the Northwest of the Chi , Humboldt Park and Logan Square. AMOR!!!
I’m a Puerto Rican guy that knows how to also cook cooking runs in my family and I enjoy making food for people it makes me happy but I gotta give a shout out to the one and only Freakin Rican his recipes are amazing and when ever I don’t know how to make something I always watch one of his videos and his recipes never let me down I hope to one day go to New York and eat at your restaurant I know I won’t be disappointed
I actually made this for dinner! Not this recipe but my own my grandma taught me.. Only thing i do different is I brown the meat a little too give color.. I'm Puertorican too!!
I just made it today. It was a big hit. I added a couple teaspoons of sofrito toward the end. I served it with rice and pasteles (I had made the pasteles before and pulled them out of the freezer. Boiled them up and was good to go!) Thank you 😋😋😋
Hey 👋🏼 thanks for all your videos, you have truly improved my cooking 🥘 lol I am 45 years old and a mother of seven Born in Manhattan New York, but raised in the Bronx. I was taught by my grandparents that were from Bayamón, Puerto Rico how to cook and my parents also taught me other dishes, so I have been cooking since the age of 11. Ever since I ran into your RUclips videos and I’ve been following your recipes to the T 😁 my husband and kids (even though 3 of them are now adults) have started to praise my cooking again because their saying they can tell that I’ve been experimenting with different seasonings and they ask me everyday what am I going to cook today. I want to let you know that the Lord has blessed you with an amazing gift, and thank you for sharing with the world your gift. May the Lord continue to guide and bless you for the rest of your life. I love the attention that I am getting from my family because of your videos. Thank you so very much. You have truly inspired me to wanna learn outside of my comfort box because the seasonings and the way of cooking that my family had taught me are totally different but similar too but just with a twist of you. I really love having you in the kitchen with me while I’m cooking. God bless you and keep on sharing. Love you and your partner 🌹❤️🔥 you two make an awesome team And may God bless you both and your union forever more.
OOOOOOHHHHH NOOOOOO! Luna I can not believe I missed your comment and did not reply!! I am so sorry! You are just the sweetest thing ever! Please keep on watching and cooking for your family - I'm sure you will inspire one or two of them to start cooking with and FOR you! God bless you and your family. Comments like yours are SUCH AN INSPIRATION! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Keep watching, keep cooking and Dios te bendiga!

I love your videos. I watched many cooks on RUclips preparing Puerto Rican meals but I’ve never seen anyone as through as you. I love the way you explain everything in detail, the water measurement, the rice measurement, the ingrediencies, etc. I would love to see you make is un bestec con cebollas. I hope you come up with other new Puerto Rican dishes. Keep up the great work your doing for us Puertorriquenos, :-)
Don Derek...Thanks buddy! I just ruined another keyboard by drooling on it. Soy gringo, mi esposa es de Cabo Rojo y el Bronx.. We love your site. Greetings from scenic central New Jersey! regards, Doug Buchanan y Claribel Vargas Buchanan
Freaky Rican... the rubber band is a NO NO.....I WAS WORRIED ALL THE TIME THINKING THAT YOU GOING TO FORGET ABOUT IT...lol..BUT IT LOOKS DELICIOUS...IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHANNEL.. LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU... THANKS FOR YOUR DELICIOUS RECIPES!!😘🇵🇷🇻🇪
ok, so now we know what's for dinner at my house today, but I know I will have to double the batch cause my son really loves meat and my sister will be here. about the olives, yes, me too! omgosh, love, love, love olives! thank you so much for this recipe, 😊💖👍👌
Thank you for the recipe. I will make it for my sobrino when I go an see him for Thanksgiving. My partner is also from PR so he will have a taste of home. Many Thanks
Thanks for the recipe. This is the first time I made it and it came out great!!! Can't wait to try the other recipes. I posted the pics on my Facebook page.
Thanks. I liked your FB page. And no worries about the salt. I don't use much salt anyways because of all the other spices. And I did add sofrito to mine.
I met you a long time ago...you were working in a colombian restaurant in Queens, I think. I live in FL now. But it took me a long time to figure out where I had seen you before lol. You are a GREAT cook. I love my PR food.
Hi! As always, great video! I noticed in the description box that sofrito was used. Can you please tell me when should the sofrito be added during cooking? I plan to make this soon. Thanks!
TaJuana Harris sofrito is always gonna be at the base of your starting flavors so whenever you start adding salt, tomato sauce, etc. you would add sofrito
Marinate the meat in with sofrito and seasonings..for 1hr. Then cook it adding goya tomato sauce. The carrot last potatoes or they dissapear . With white rice cabbage sister .. Ha

If you don't have sofrito it still comes out really really good. I make sofrito when i have the extra money to make it since god forbid groceries getting expensive
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! ❤️ my husband is Puerto Rican and his mom always made this for him now I want to do the same . . Just one question , so I boil the beef for an hour uncovered until the water is reduced , and then cover with a lid once the other ingredients n spices are added for another hour on low flame ?? Ohh and do you have a video on how to make homemade sofrito ?? Thanks!
This is REALLY good and I LOVE how u take the time to explain everything, but I think you should add a serving size where you put the ingredients because sometimes I'm only cooking for me and my wife and should cut the ingredients in half.
I just made this last night and omg!! Delish!!! It was better than my ex mother in laws lol. I’ve tried for years to recreate her recipe but this is amazing!!
I Love This Dish And I Love Cilantro Even Raw (Hello Tacos) And It Is Very Healthy. I'd Say For This Dish Or Any Other Just finely Chop Stems And Leaves Never Discard-It Is Not Like Fresh Rosemary
I take the meat and season it with a little bit of adobo and garlic powder, then take a spoonful of flour and mix it well with the meat. Heat up olive oil, about 2tsp and brown the meat first. By doing this the meat will be much tender. After that add whatever ingredients you'd like. I like to add potatoes, diced tomatoes and carrots.
I love following your recipes but just a note to you, I noticed in this beef stew recipe, you don’t have listed the cilantro or the olives, in case you might have forgotten to add it, but otherwise looking forward to making it. NY🇵🇷
It came out very good. Try it some time. Thank you so much for following us. If you havent liked on our social media platforms. Check us out Follow us at facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant www.thefreakinricanrestaurant.com
Where did you obtain the big jug of "Bijol" was it at a box store like Costco or BJ's or online? In addition you have sofrito in the recipe ingredients but used fresh cilantro, wouldn't you need some more ingredients to make it into a classic sofrito for the recipe? Please clarify on both inquiries thank you. Peace...Jorge.
My pot boiled over because I forgot to take off the lid just as you were saying it 😭 but great recipe. I too boil for an hour so the meat comes out tender

Great recipe! One suggestion, Instead of the rubber band you can use another piece of cilantro to tie the bunch. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you baby. Yes at times I do . thank you for commenting and watching.
Thats a good idea☺
That rubber band is gross
For you youngens , Cuba here. That is how is supposed to be done, your preference but keeping it traditional made is using rubber bands. Born and raised in the Northwest of the Chi , Humboldt Park and Logan Square. AMOR!!!

I make sofrito when i have the extra money to make it since god forbid groceries getting expensive
Lovely...just lovely.
I'm gonna do it now.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! ❤️ my husband is Puerto Rican and his mom always made this for him now I want to do the same . . Just one question , so I boil the beef for an hour uncovered until the water is reduced , and then cover with a lid once the other ingredients n spices are added for another hour on low flame ?? Ohh and do you have a video on how to make homemade sofrito ?? Thanks!
Why do you always use a small pot? Love your channel!💞
This is REALLY good and I LOVE how u take the time to explain everything, but I think you should add a serving size where you put the ingredients because sometimes I'm only cooking for me and my wife and should cut the ingredients in half.
Delicious as always. Coming to you’re restaurant. GOOD LUCK. 👍🙏👍 You’ll do great. ❤️😎🌞
Sounds good, not feeling the rubber band in the food though.
M. M. SCOTT you could use butcher's twine. That's the string you wrap up chicken or pasteles.
Or cut it
OMG! you made me crave it. this will be dinner tonite. 😆
That is so good you make my day thank you so much😋😋
I am sorry....could you summarize how long its supposed to cook with the top off then the top on? I am a little confused about that...
Thank you for sharing
I can’t wait to make this tomorrow! ❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you!!
Made your beef stew and it was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos! Love love love!
Glad you like them! Thank you so much
I just made this last night and omg!! Delish!!! It was better than my ex mother in laws lol. I’ve tried for years to recreate her recipe but this is amazing!!
Shhhh Don't say that too loud. lol Thank you for watching!!
I Love This Dish And I Love Cilantro Even Raw (Hello Tacos) And It Is Very Healthy. I'd Say For This Dish Or Any Other Just finely Chop Stems And Leaves Never Discard-It Is Not Like Fresh Rosemary
I don't rubber band the cilantro. I prefer chopping it into it. I use glass lids with the vent holes no over boil.
I love you recipie!!! Ty
Thank you so much Chiquie!! Keep watching (and cooking)!
Looks delicious! It's one of my favorite!🙂👍
i really enjoy your video , love my puerto rican food weeepaaaa
What type of beef? Sirloin, Chuck etc?
Can you make a video for pan de agua? I have not been able to find a good video for that kind of bread.
I take the meat and season it with a little bit of adobo and garlic powder, then take a spoonful of flour and mix it well with the meat. Heat up olive oil, about 2tsp and brown the meat first. By doing this the meat will be much tender. After that add whatever ingredients you'd like. I like to add potatoes, diced tomatoes and carrots.
Delicious..best recipe yet!!
Hey Sweetie, Where I live we don't have ajices do we need them? THanks I love your recipes.

I saw sofrito in the list you posted in beginning, didn’t see you put it in video.
It's in there. We put sofrito in everything 🤣
when do you add the sofrito to the beef stew
In the beginning, when you are making the sauce base. Same with the Sazon.
I don’t have bijol. What can I use instead ?
I LOVE It !!!! 💗🙏🥰🥂
Thank you for the love Ev! Are you going to make it tho?
I made it & my family love it 😍
ZAZON COMPLETE WORKS GREAT FOR FLAVOR AND COLOR
Yes it does.
diana beal SAZÓN is how it's spelled.
Hey u can peel potatoes using both sides of Peeler . Go back.and forth
I have a request shredded turkey... juicy turkey!
Juicy turkey bruh.. I want the best turkey for thanksgiving
“9 olives.. 8 because I just ate one” 🤣🤣🤣
Where did you obtain the big jug of "Bijol" was it at a box store like Costco or BJ's or online? In addition you have sofrito in the recipe ingredients but used fresh cilantro, wouldn't you need some more ingredients to make it into a classic sofrito for the recipe? Please clarify on both inquiries thank you.
Peace...Jorge.
omg you so discusting!!!!😂
Great video, I would add the potatoes towards the end I don’t like mushy potatoes. Also, I would skip the rubber band.
yummmm
omg!!! i caught myself blowing with you and you still got burnt.
Love your channel!
You're awesome!!!!!
No rubber band. Use kitchen twine. The videos and recipes are great👍🏼
Is that how they do it in the coochifrito restaurant
My pot boiled over because I forgot to take off the lid just as you were saying it 😭 but great recipe. I too boil for an hour so the meat comes out tender
