RECIPE OF THE WEEK!
Salted Pork Eye of the Round
Ingredient Checklist
- 3-pound beef eye of the round roast
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- Gryffon Ridge Senor Pistole’s Mild Chili Seasoning
- 4-6 thin slices of salt pork
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2-3 cups beef stock
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions Checklist
- Use a sharp paring knife to cut 15-20 slits all over the roast. Use your fingers to push garlic slices and a pinch of chili seasoning into each slit.
- Place a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the roast over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, place the roast into the pan to sear it on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Sear the cut end of the roast as well.
- Turn the heat off from under the pan and transfer the meat to a cutting board. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Rub the outside of the roast with 1 teaspoon chili seasoning. Lay the sliced salt pork over the roast. Use butcher’s twine to secure the pork in place. Put the prepared roast back into the cast iron pan and slide the pan into the preheated oven. Roast the meat until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 115 degrees. Transfer the roast to a cutting board to rest while you make the gravy.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered pork fat. Place the pan over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the fat and use a whisk to mix them into a roux. Cook the roux, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of stock, add the thyme and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking periodically. Taste the gravy; if it is too salty, add more stock until the salt level is acceptable.
- As the gravy simmers, cut the butcher’s twine, remove the cooked salt pork and thinly slice the beef. Serve warm with the cooked salt pork and gravy.
- In another bowl, beat 3 egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Fold into waffle batter. Bake waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook ham until heated through; keep warm. In same skillet, fry remaining eggs until yolks are set. To serve, top waffle with ham and 1 egg. Sprinkle with reserved onion and asparagus, and remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
