Homestyle Puerto Rican Roasted Beef Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: beef, flour, cinnamon, cumin, bay leaf, potato, tomato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until roasted.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Puerto Rican flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Puerto Rican accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
