Directions:
Combine broth, vinegar, celery, onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add beef, submerging it by tucking the vegetables under, over and between the pieces.

Put the lid on and cook on low until the meat is fork-tender, about 8 hours.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board; let stand for 10 minutes. Shred the meat with 2 forks and return it to the slow cooker. Stir in cilantro. Garnish with jalapeno and serve warm tortillas on the side.

Personal Notes:
This traditional Cuban stew may be called old clothes, but it's a wonderful way to turn a rather inexpensive cut of meat into a rich and decadent stew. If you like, serve it with some sour cream dolloped on top.
