Cuban Style Shredded Beef Cooked in Clay (Ropa Vieja)

Beef Roast is one of my favorite things to make in my VitaClay cooker. My acupuncturist actually told me that for my body type, if I gained weight around my middle (belly and hips) I should eat beef for breakfast every morning. After 2 pregnancies I'd gotten down to almost normal, but there were...
