Matambre relleno

Matambre relleno or matambre arrolado is the Argentinian rolled and stuffed rose meat. The beef is butterflied, filled with diced vegetables and hard-boiled eggs, then rolled and grilled. It is a traditional dish of Argentinian gauchos, cattle ranchers who represent an irreplaceable part of Argentinian culture. Their cuisine is primarily based on roasting large portions of meat served in churrascarias – the traditional Argentinian steakhouses. However, matambre relleno has become a dish that is also commonly prepared in Argentinian households. It can be served hot or cold, as an appetizer, or as the main meal. The steak is usually cut before serving to showcase the colorful and decorative fillings, while the traditional Argentinian chimichurri sauce is usually served on the side. Occasionally, sliced matambre relleno is served in a bun, and the most extraordinary variety of this classic is a matambre pizza, made with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
