  • In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, diced cooked carrots, breadcrumbs, milk, cumin powder, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
  • Form the meat into a long roll and place it on a greased tray.

  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a frying pan, heat a little vegetable oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook until golden brown and add the crushed tomato, sugar, salt, cumin powder and paprika. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Tips

  • Choose a ground beef mix: Opt for a combination of beef and pork for a juicier, more flavorful flavor. The mixture of both meats adds a good amount of fat and flavor to the preparation.
  • Knead the meat gently: When mixing the ingredients, be sure not to overknead the meat, as this can make the roll dense and dry. Knead just enough so that all the ingredients are integrated.
  • Add vegetables: In addition to carrots, you can add other finely chopped vegetables, such as peppers, mushrooms or spinach. This will not only add flavor, but also a touch of color and additional nutrients.
  • Seal the roll before baking: Before baking the roll, you can sear it in a hot pan with a little oil to lightly brown the outside. This will help keep the juices and flavors inside and add a crunchy texture to the surface.
  • Use a kitchen thermometer: To make sure the meat roll is completely cooked, use a kitchen thermometer. The internal temperature must reach 70°C (160°F) to ensure food safety.
  • Let it rest before cutting: After baking the meat roll, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into slices. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the meat will be juicier when served.
  • Experiment with spices: If you want to add more flavor, try different spices and herbs such as paprika, oregano, thyme or rosemary. Adjust the quantities according to your personal taste.
