Ingredients you will need for this eye of round steak recipe are:
- 3 ½ pound of eye of round steak,
- 3 ounces of smoky ham,
- 3 ounces uncooked Mexican or Spanish chorizo or a spicy breakfast sausage,
- ½ cup chopped onion,
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper,
- ¼ cup thinly sliced pimiento stuffed green olives,
- 2 garlic cloves- minced,
- salt,
- freshly milled black pepper,
- 3 tablespoons olive oil,
- 1 cup of beef stock,
- 8 ounce can of tomato sauce,
- 2 bay leaves, juice of 1 or 2 limes and a food processor or blender.
To prepare this eye of round steak recipe cut a pocket with a sharp knife from one end of the steak almost through to the other end. Now, hollow out enough meat to leave a one to two inch core.
Place the steak scraps in a food processor and grind coarsely. Now, add the ham and chorizo to the processor and grind finely. Place the mixture into a bowl by spooning it out of the processor then stir in the onion, bell pepper and olives.
Rub some minced garlic over the inside and outside of the steak and then mix the rest into the stuffing. Sprinkle the outside of the steak with salt and pepper.
Pack most of the stuffing into the cavity that you have made, the meat will swell up some, just close the end of the steak with toothpicks as you wish. In a large baking dish with a cover or aluminum foil can be used.
Warm the olive oil over a medium high heat, brown the steaks on all sides, now crumble the remaining stuffing into the pan. Pour the beef stock and tomato sauce over the steak and add the bay leaves.
Simmer at low heat, covered for approximately 3 hours until tender. Turn the steak over once about ½ way through cooking. Remove the Boliche from the pan and let it cool for about 20 minutes so it can become firm.
