Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef eye round roast
- 2 links Spanish chorizo
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Use a sharp knife to create a slit lengthwise through the center of the beef roast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff the cavity with the chorizo links.
Season the outside of the beef with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, white wine, and beef stock. Add orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the seared beef to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours, occasionally turning the beef and spooning sauce over it.
After 2 hours, add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue simmering, covered, for another 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fork-tender.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the boliche to a serving dish, slice the beef, and arrange the vegetables around it. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot with white rice or black beans on the side. Enjoy!
