This one thanks to Sent to Stud, copied from a different thread.

sent 2 studs Variation of Boliche!

get yourself an Eye of Round Roast. 3-4 pounds. Marinate it overnite. I like the Mojo marinades, light citrus with garli. You find it in the Spanish foods section. About $2 for a bottle.

Also get a pound of italian sausage.

Your eye round roast will look like a small loaf of bread. you want to take a long sharp knife and hollw out 1/2 inch through the middle from one end to the other. Fill up that cavity with the sausage.

Get the grill hot. put some olive oil or cooking spray on the grill.

Sear the roast good all around on high heat. Sear the ends too.

Lower the heat so you're cooking at about 275-300 deg.

Get enoug tin foil to loosely wrap roast. before you wrap it, slather the roast with some good tomato sauce. throw some onions in there. shrooms too.

Wrap up loosely but securely. This is a modest cut of meat and you want to cook it slowly in liquid.

Cut slices about 1/2 inch thick.

Puerto Rican peasant food traditionally served with rice and red beans, but good with anything.

Memphis Magic BBQ Sauce

Recipe By : Smoke and Spice by Cheryl and Bill Jamison

Ingredients
3 Tablespoons butter
1/4 Cup minced onion
1 Cup white vinegar
1 Cup tomato sauce
1/4 Cup worcestershire sauce
2 Teaspoons sugar
1 Teaspoon salt
½ Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 Teaspoon cayenne
Dash tabasco sauce


The center of mid-South barbecue, Memphis offers a range of sauces that take the high middle ground between Eastern and Western styles. Like this version, they are often medium-bodied mixtures, moderate in sweet, heat, and everything else except taste.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onions begin to turn golden. Stir in the remaining ingredients, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 20 minutes. Stir frequently.

Use the sauce warm. It keeps, refrigerated, for a couple of weeks.

Elise's Meat Loaf Recipe
1 cup of finely chopped onion
1 celery rib, chopped fine
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 carrot, chopped fine
1/2 cup of finely chopped scallion (can substitute onion)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp salt (use 1 1/2 teas if using Italian sausage)
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp Worscestershire sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck
3/4 pound of spicy ground pork sausage (or use Italian sausage - 1 sweet, 1 hot)
(NOTE: many versions of meatloaf call for ground veal as well. I would experiment with a third each of beef, pork, and veal.)
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 large eggs, beaten slightly
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large heavy skillet cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and scallion in butter, over moderate heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Cover and stir occassionally until the carrots are tender, about 5 more minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 a cup of ketchup. Cook for 1 more minute.

In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, bread crumbs, vegetables, and parsley. Form into a loaf and put into a retangular baking pan with 2 inch high sides. Cover loaf with remaining ketchup.

Bake meat loaf in oven for 1 hour.

Serves 4 to 6.

Here's a "recipe" I wrote earlier this year for my brother and sister-in-law's engagement party. They requested recipes, so I gave them the one we used the most at the time....

Nicole’s recipe for Ordering Delivery

Ingredients: 2 people, assorted delivery menus, telephone, money

Preparation: (Note: Useful for one person to remove clothing before beginning.)

1. Decide it’s too much trouble to cook.
2. Squabble over whose turn it is to decide from where to order delivery.
3. Decide one person shall choose three places, and other person shall choose from which of the three to order.
4. First person selects three places.
5. Second person says those are the three places he/she really DID NOT want to order from.
6. First person picks three other places.
7. Second person picks one of the three.
8. First person says he/she really hoped second person wouldn’t choose that place.
9. Together, select one of the two remaining options.
10. Squabble over whose turn it is to phone in the order, each person convinced one hundred percent that he/she did it last time (note: highly recommended—video, audio, photographic or notarized written records for proof).
11. Come to agreement on who will phone in the order (note: negotiating tactics of varying degrees of usefulness include promises to call in the next two orders, complaints that other person’s order is always a pain to phone in as everything needs to be “on the side”, sudden onset of laryngitis, and, as last resort, tears. Please also note tears are more effective when used by female than by male).
12. Phone in order.
13. Wait for delivery.
14. Become grumpy because delivery is taking too long.
15. Squabble over who should call to ask where the food is (note: usually food arrives before squabble is done and actual call itself is seldom necessary).
16. Food delivery arrives.
17. Occasionally, squabble over whose turn it is to answer the door and take the delivery (note: here is where removing one’s clothes before beginning recipe comes in handy, as other person will seldom make first person answer door in his/her underwear).
18. Pay for food, making sure to tip decently, as delivering meals is a crummy job.
19. Enjoy food and each other’s company.
20. Make promise to self to cook next time, as it’s really more work to order delivery.
