Need a good ropa vieja recipe

I love ropa vieja and have been craving it lately.  But the one Cuban place near me that offers a fantastic one is always packed with a line out the door.  I was wondering if anyone has a good recipe for ropa vieja.  I could do a quick search on All Recipes or the Food Network, but would prefer a tried and true recipe instead of a random hit or miss.  Thanks!

I make the epicurious recipe but streamline it a bit... cook the meat in the crockpot, cook all the peppers together, and so forth.

I made this but it didn't come out quite right, the steak turned out too tender/mushy.

Cammy, for some reason the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning (after "coffeeeeeeee") was Oh #&%!), I promised to post my ropa recipe and forgot!
