Stuffed Locerto (Beef Eye Round) Roast

A delicious stuffed locerto that you just cannot go wrong with

Prep Time : 25 Minutes

Cook Time : 35 Minutes

Ingredients :

600 Grams or more of Locerto (Whole piece)

3 bacon slices

2 garlic cloves

1 Large Onion chopped

1 large handful of breadcrumbs (1 1/2 to 2 if you have very small hands or a very large locerto)

2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard

1 hard-boiled egg, quartered lengthwise

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions :

1. Cut the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces

2. Fry the bacon slightly until cooked but not crisp it should still be soft but golden.

3. Preferably pass the garlic through a garlic mincer – alternatively chop finely.

4. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl add some water to ensure that the bread crumbs are slightly wet then add the two teaspoons of mustard sprinkled evenly mix and add salt and pepper to your tastes.

5. Pour the contents of the bowl into the frying pan and fry for a few minutes until the bread crumbs seem nearly dry.

Preparing the Locerto:

Make a lenght wise cut on the locerto starting about an 3/4 of an inch from the very top (thickest part) make sure to cut as deep as you can without cutting through the locerto leaving about 1/4 inch of the meat uncut.

Now you should be able to open the flaps on each side as if were a book. If you have a herb or spice you are particularly fond of sprinkle a little on the inside of the meat as well as some salt and pepper for flavouring and seasoning the meat.

Place the egg quarters along the inside of the incision, they should fit like a triangle into the meat.

Next take the bread crumbs mix from the pan which should be soft and pack into the meat.

Wrap the flaps over the stuffing as tightly as you can and tie with string every half an inch. (Alternatively ask your butcher if they have some netting which you can just slide the locerto into)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on the outside of the meat and if you do not care much about the calories and are after taste only rubbing a bit of melted butter on the outside will make it crisp and add to the flavour.

Cook in oven for 20 to 25 minutes depending on how well you like it cooked.

Once you take it out of the oven let it settle for about an hour or so.
