Fresh thyme Ropa Vieja Skillet

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the ropa vieja and let it toasted, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the kosher salt along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with flaky sea salt and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
