Fritura

Res Guisada (Dominican Braised Beef) is a tender meat dish that is one of the components of La Bandera Dominicana, the traditional Dominican lunch meal. This Dominican style stewed beef is a humble dish, that uses very inexpensive cuts, then cooked at low temperatures, for a long time. This results in a very tender meat and a very rich sauce that turns brown as the juices released by the meat caramelize.

Wasakaka is a flavorful Dominican garlicky sauce that will greatly improve the flavor of any dish it is drizzled on.
