    Oh man, my mom makes this, it’s the best. It’s so much more flavorful than the picture suggests, and cheesy rice is incredible

    From the spanish wiki:

    Keperí consists of a piece of beef (where it gets its name from) that is cooked in an oven or fried. 7] The meat is characterized by being very soft and is accompanied with rice with cheese, fried yucca and salad.

    Fried yuca:

    Because yuca is packed with natural starches, it develops a much thicker, glass-like outer crust when fried. It stays crispy far longer than a standard potato fry.

    This is all new to me :) Looks like the sausage on the white stuff is fried yuca? Is the white stuff rice with cheese? what kind of cheese?

      I think it’s queso chaqueño which is often used in this dish. The yuca is in the back next to the meat. That’s a plantain on top of the rice and cheese.
