Instructions
- PREPARING THE BEEF ROLLS
- Cut each banana into 2 pieces. If they are very thick cut each piece in half lengthwise. You will have some leftover banana.
- Wrap each piece of banana with one strip of bacon.
- Roll the beef around the bacon-wrapped banana.
- Secure each roll firmly with a toothpick.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Flour the rolls.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large frying pan and add the rolls to brown them.
- Thoroughly brown the rolls on all sides.
- When they are fully browned place them on a plate and set them aside while you prepare the sauce.
- PREPARING THE TOMATO SAUCE
- Blend the tomato, onion, and garlic with no added water for 2 minutes until the sauce is smooth.
- Strain the sauce into a mixing bowl to remove the seeds and skin. Don't skip this step.
- In the same frying pan that you browned the beef rolls add 2 tablespoons of oil and bring the pan to medium-hot.
- Pour the sauce into the pan to fry it, which is called "seasoning" it.
- Bring the sauce to a boil.
- COOKING THE BEEF ROLLS
- Reduce the sauce from a boil to a simmer.
- Place the beef rolls into the sauce and cook for 25 minutes.
- Turn the rolls every 5 minutes and spoon sauce over them so that they cook evenly.
- SERVING
- Place the four beef rolls on a serving plate and spoon the sauce over them.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serving Recommendation
- Substitutions
- This dish is best eaten immediately. It doesn't really reheat well.
- The tomato sauce for this dish doesn't call for any chile. If you want some heat in the sauce, add ½ to 1 chile serrano when you blend the tomato, onion, and garlic.
- Our easy salsa roja recipe would also go well with this dish.
