Cooking instructions
Procedure
Cut slits into eye round roast, and stuff with quartered chorizos (follow the grain of meat).
Procedure
Lightly rub meat with adobo seasoning.
Procedure
Brown the meat on all sides in a sauté pan to seal in the juices. Remove and place in a large covered roasting pan.
Procedure
In the same pan as the beef was browned, add saffron, garlic, onions, peppers, bay leaves, oregano, olives, capers, and the Sazon seasoning. Sauté until the onions are translucent in color.
Procedure
Deglaze with red wine, turn heat down, and simmer about 5 minutes. Add the cilantro and the tomato sauce and stir well.
Procedure
Pour this mixture over the beef, and roast at 325 °F for 1 ½–2 hours, or until meat is tender. Turn the roast over and baste with the sauce once in a while to assure full flavor penetration and even cooking.
Procedure
Serve.

Read it through first
Skim all 7 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
