Although the meat can be eaten on its own, you really shouldn't. Arroz ala Cubana is a complete package. The spice, the sweet, the salty --- and you have to have all the different tastes in a single bite. I do not eat it with rice, because I've mentioned many times before that I am not a rice person, but it's better served with hot rice. Some versions of this will have more tomato sauce. Some versions of this will not have potatoes. I particularly like this version because I love potatoes and I do not like it to be wet.
As I've mentioned in my blog, I cooked this dish for my good friend Didi. We love to eat together when she was still here in Manila, but she got married, a month after I did, and her husband stole her from me and took her to Dubai. She visited a few months ago, to fix some papers, and I cooked this dish because I know that it is one of her favorites --- I say this because whenever we go to Dulcinea, this is what she orders, no fail. Just like when we go to Uncle Moe's --- she orders Kofta Balls, without fail --- I miss Didi!
Anyway, try this dish because it's very simple. Keep the eggs runny so that it will coat the beef and the banana. Yum yum yum, I'm hungry now!
