Ingredients

  • 3–5 lb beef eye round roast
  • 4 Goya chorizos , quartered lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp Goya adobo seasoning
  • 2 large pinches saffron
  • 6 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 large onion , chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1–2 heaping tbsp oregano
  • 3 tbsp green Spanish olives with pimentos
  • 3 tbsp capers
  • 2 packets Goya sazon con azafran
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can (29 oz) tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 package Badia cilantro

Directions

1

Cut slits into eye round roast, and stuff with quartered chorizos (follow the grain of meat).

2

Lightly rub meat with adobo seasoning.

3

Brown the meat on all sides in a sauté pan to seal in the juices. Remove and place in a large covered roasting pan.

4

In the same pan as the beef was browned, add saffron, garlic, onions, peppers, bay leaves, oregano, olives, capers, and the Sazon seasoning. Sauté until the onions are translucent in color.

5

Deglaze with red wine, turn heat down, and simmer about 5 minutes. Add the cilantro and the tomato sauce and stir well.

6

Pour this mixture over the beef, and roast at 325 °F for 1 ½–2 hours, or until meat is tender. Turn the roast over and baste with the sauce once in a while to assure full flavor penetration and even cooking.
