Boliche Relleno Stuffed Boliche Eye Of The Round Roast Recipes

BOLICHE CUBANO - CUBAN-STYLE STUFFED BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Step 1 Using long knife, make lengthwise slit in center of thickest end of roast to form deep pocket, about 3" long. Pierce beef all over with tip of knife. Transfer beef to large zip-top bag (or to non-reactive container with lid). Pour Mojo over beef; seal bag. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for best results. Step 2 Heat oven to 275°F. Remove beef from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking; discard marinade. Using paper towels, pat beef dry. Stuff pocket of beef with chorizo. Using kitchen twine, firmly tie beef in 1½ " intervals, perpendicular to pocket, to enclose chorizo. Sprinkle beef all over with Adobo. Step 3 Heat oil in large Dutch oven, or large oven-proof pot over medium-high heat. Add beef. Cook, flipping beef with tongs, until golden brown all over, 5-7minutes; transfer to plate. Add onions to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes more. Pour wine and 4 cups water into pot. Bring liquid to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot with wooden spoon. Add carrots, olives, bay leaves, oregano and beef to pot. Tightly cover pot; transfer to oven. Step 4 Cook, flipping roast every hour, until beef is fork-tender, about 4 hours, adding potatoes after 3 ½ hours. Step 5 Transfer beef, potatoes, carrots and olives to platter; tightly cover with foil to keep warm. Place pot on stove over medium-high heat. Bring liquid to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. To serve, cut beef roast into ½" slices. Pour sauce over beef. Serve warm. More Cooking Tips

BOLICHE (CUBAN POT ROAST)

Steps:

• Lay the eye of round roast on your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket by inserting the knife all the way through the center of the roast, beginning on the flat side. Rotate the blade 90 degrees and insert the knife in the same spot, creating an cross shape that extends through the roast. Stuff the chorizo pieces into the pocket. Using the same knife, pierce the roast all over. Set aside.
• Mash garlic and oregano with a mortar and pestle to create a paste. Rub paste all over the roast, then season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the orange juice, lime juice, and lemon juice over the roast. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Remove the roast from the marinade, and shake off excess. Reserve marinade.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Place the roast in the Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast to a platter, and set aside. Stir in the onions; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the roast to the pot. Add the bay leaves, sherry, beef broth, and reserved marinade. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low; simmer 2 hours.
• Drop potatoes into the pot, cover, and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes more, adding additional beef broth as needed.
• Remove the roast and place on a platter. Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Slice roast into 1/2-inch thick slices, and arrange potatoes on the platter. Spoon the remaining sauce over, and serve.
