Categories     Meat

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 roasted red peppers (see note below)
2 garlic cloves
2 -3 sprigs Italian parsley
1 lb lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup olive oil (for frying)
1 large yellow onion
2 tablespoons unbleached wheat flour
1 cup white wine
1 cup beef broth

Steps:

  • If you will roast and peel the peppers yourself, do that first. (Add 20 minutes to the cooking time.).
  • Note on Peppers: To serve as a main course, use 4 whole roasted red bell peppers, stem removed, so they may stuffed at top. (Many canned or bottled peppers are slit open lengthwise and therefore are not suitable for stuffing.) If whole roasted peppers are not available in your area, or you prefer freshly roasted peppers, roast the red bell peppers, peel and de-seed them before preparing filling. Use our simple step-by-step instructions on How to Roast Peppers over a BBQ grill, or under a broiler. If you wish to make a tapa, use 12-18 roasted small piquillo peppers.
  • Peel the garlic and place in a mortar with the parsley sprigs. Mash together with a pestle.
  • Place ground beef in a medium mixing bowl with garlic, parsley, milk, eggs, salt and paprika. Mix thoroughly. Stuff each of the roasted peppers, being careful not to tear the peppers. Close top with a toothpick.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. While oil is heating, beat the remaining two eggs in a small mixing bowl. Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a separate small mixing bowl.
  • When oil is hot, dip red peppers into beaten egg and carefully roll to cover all sides. Remove and carefully roll in the bread crumbs. Place in hot oil to fry for 8-10 minutes, turning as the crumbs brown. Keep pan on medium heat so as not to burn.
  • As the peppers are cooked, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and set aside on a plate.
  • Peel and chop onion. In a clean frying pan on medium heat, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. When hot, sauté onions until they are thoroughly browned. Add flour and stir. Pour in wine and broth, mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes. Sauce should begin to thicken.
  • Carefully place peppers into frying pan with onion sauce and reduce heat to medium low. Continue to cook 5-8 minutes. If sauce begins to stick, add a bit of water and stir.
  • Serve on plates surrounded by onion sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 thin cut meat. i use thin cut top sirloin. about 7 inches long and 5 inches wide each
8 oz cream cheese (1 block)
1 can(s) large can whole ortega chilis, 27oz
1 jar(s) salsa picante
1 c mexican blend shredded cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400
  • 2. Take 2 chilies and cut a slit down 1 side. Next cut a 1/2 inch slice, lengthwise, of the cream cheese and place in the chili. Take another chili and lay over the top.
  • 3. Set the cream cheese chili on the largest end of the meat. Roll up and set in a baking dish with the seam down. Repeat for remaining 3 steaks
  • 4. Place all rolls side by side in pan. I like to take the extra chilies and stuff them with the left over cream cheese. It is really good, too!
  • 5. Cover all the carne rellenos with entire jar of salsa and bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately with Black beans and tortillas.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality, flavorful ground beef. Grass-fed or organic beef is a great option.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf.
  • Use fresh, flavorful vegetables. This will help to add moisture and flavor to the meatloaf.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices. This is a great way to customize the meatloaf to your liking.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf.
