Cover and let marinate in refrigerator for about half and hour. Dredge the meat in the seasoned flour and saute until browned. Set aside. Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and bay leaf to the pan drippings. Add a bit more olive oil if needed. Saute until onion i s partially limp. Add the dry wine to deglaze pan. Add meat back in and the tomato sauce. cover and cook for 10 minutes. Served with brown rice and a salad made with sliced beets, shredded carrots and caramelized pecans.

Brings back many memories form my childhood in Tampa eating at such notable fine Spanish & Cuban eateries as the Las Novadades, the Spanish Park, Cafe Alvarez, The Columbia, etc. Yummo...!
Sonia M. Apr 15, 2013, 3:10pm UTC
One of these days I hope to be able to experience more of Tampa's eateries...I've heard good things about the food at Las Novedades...someone told me it was even better than The Columbia although this last one always gets the press...not familiar with Spanish Park at all.
Donald H. Apr 16, 2013, 6:44am UTC
Unfortunately the Alavarez, the Las Novedades & the Spanish Park are only memories...! The Valencia Garden is also memory as well...! Others have arisent to fill the vacancies however. La Terresita, Havana Village, the Arco-Iris Restaurant, Hugo's Spanish Restaurant, the La Tropicana Cafe, Liborios Latin Cafe, Castillo's Cafe, Las Margaritas Restaurant, Lincoln Spanish Restaurant, Pipo's Cafe, La Lechonera, Latam's, & La Septima Cafe are the best although there are probaly a couple of hundred in the greater Tampa area not counting what is here on the Pinellas County side of Tampa Bay...!
Sonia M. Apr 16, 2013, 12:33pm UTC
A veritable wealth of Cuban or Spanish restaurants...how fun it would be to take time and try them all!
