Lynn's Boliche
5 to 6 pounds Eye Round beef
6 garlic cloves, mashed
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons bitter orange juice
1 cup dry white cooking wine
3 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound ham in small cubes
1 carrot, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, cut in medium size pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, cut in medium size pieces
2 small Cuban-style chorizos, sliced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces tomato sauce
Topping:
1 sliced seared onion
2 fried ripe plantains
Steak fries
Clean the meat by trimming excess fat. With a knife
make an opening through the center of the meat. Place the meat in a large pot.
To prepare marinade, mix garlic, oregano, cumin, bay leaf, bitter orange juice,
cooking wine, salt and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of the marinade to the opening
inside the meat. In another container mix the stuffing: ham, carrot, bell
peppers and chorizo then place the stuffing inside the meat. Add the rest of the
marinade to the outside of the meat. For best results let the meat sit overnight
or at least 3 hours, refrigerated.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large frying pan heat cooking oil and
remove meat from marinade. Place meat in a hot frying pan, and sear the meat;
browning it gives the meat flavor. Add the remaining marinade, cover and place
in oven for approximately 3 hours. Let the meat cool before cutting it in
slices. Combine the tomato sauce with the marinade that remained in the pan and
put this mixture in a saucepan and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour over the sliced
meat, and add the toppings and serve.
You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a
dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning.
