Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thinly sliced beef (flank or top round)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 0.5 cup Finely diced bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 14 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Chopped onion
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Beef or chicken broth
Instructions
Season the beef slices with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese, diced bell peppers, parsley, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix until evenly combined.
Lay a beef slice flat on a clean surface. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the stuffing mixture onto one end of the slice. Carefully roll the beef around the filling, securing the roll with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining beef slices and stuffing.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef rolls on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the rolls from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and paprika, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Return the beef rolls to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, turning the rolls occasionally, until the meat is tender and the flavors are fully developed.
Serve the Carne Rellenos hot with rice, beans, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
