Boliche: Cuban-Style Pot Roast

1. 1

   Lay the roast flat on your work surface. Using the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife, cut a pocket through the center of the roast by inserting the knife all the way through from the flat side. Rotate the blade 90 degrees and insert it in the same spot to make a cross-shaped opening that goes through the roast. Stuff the chorizo pieces into the pocket. Pierce the roast all over with the same knife, then transfer it to a glass or ceramic bowl.

2. 2

   Mash the garlic and oregano with a mortar and pestle until a paste forms; rub it all over the roast, then season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the orange juice, lime juice, and lemon juice over the roast. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Remove the roast from the marinade; shake off any excess. Reserve the marinade.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 10 minutes; transfer it to a platter and set aside. Add the onions; cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the roast to the Dutch oven. Add the beef broth, sherry, reserved marinade, and bay leaves. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low; simmer for 2 hours.

4. 4

   Add the potatoes to the Dutch oven, cover, and continue simmering until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes more, adding more beef broth as needed.

5. 5

   Transfer the roast to a platter; cover with two layers of aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm place for 10 minutes. Slice the roast into 1/2-inch-thick slices; arrange the potatoes on the platter. Pour the sauce over the roast and potatoes to serve.
