Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (1 1/2) pound beef top sirloin steak
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ lemon, juiced
½ pound ground pork
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 links chorizo de bilbao (spicy Spanish semi-cured sausage), halved lengthwise
2 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
1 carrot, halved lengthwise
2 slices ham, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 cups water
2 tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place sirloin steak on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle with a very sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Place in a dish, season with soy sauce and lemon, and let marinate briefly.
  • Mix ground pork, sweet relish, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  • Remove the steak from the lemon-soya sauce marinade and lay it on a flat surface, e.g. a cutting board. Reserve the marinade. Spread ground pork mixture over the steak. Arrange chorizo, eggs, carrot, and ham over the pork. Roll steak into a log until filling is entirely covered; secure at both ends with toothpicks. Tie the meat roll with a string.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the meat roll; cook until all sides are browned, about 10 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, onion, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, and the reserved marinade. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce flavors blend and meat roll is hot in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove meat roll from the sauce; place on a flat work surface and cut crosswise into slices. Arrange slices on a platter. Pour sauce on top.
