Cuban Boliche Recipe
Cuban Boliche is prepared with beef stuffed with chorizo and cooked in a tomato-based sauce until tender.
Ingredients
- Beef (e.g. sirloin) – 2 lb
- Chorizo sausage – 1/2 lb
- Garlic (minced) – 3 cloves
- Onion (diced) – 1 medium
- Green bell pepper (diced) – 1
- Tomato sauce – 1 cup
- Beef broth – 1 cup
- Dry white wine – 1/2 cup
- Olive oil – 2 tbsp
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Ground black pepper – 1/2 tsp
- Cumin – 1/2 tsp
- Bay leaves – 2
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit down the center of the beef, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
- Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and crumble it into a mixing bowl. Add minced garlic, diced onion, and diced green bell pepper to the bowl, then mix until well combined.
- Stuff the chorizo mixture into the pocket of the beef roast, pressing it in firmly to ensure it fills the space evenly. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the stuffing in place.
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the stuffed beef roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the beef roast from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add diced onion and green bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Return the beef roast to the pot, then add tomato sauce, beef broth, dry white wine, salt, ground black pepper, cumin, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the beef roast is tender and cooked through, basting occasionally with the sauce.
- Once the beef roast is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- To serve, slice the boliche into thick slices and spoon the sauce over the top.
