1
Prepare the Beef
Season the eye round beef with salt and black pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
2
Braising the Beef
Add garlic cloves and bay leaves to the pot. Cover the beef with water, ensuring it’s submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and braise for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
3
Shred the Beef
Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice the French rolls in half. On the bottom half, place a generous amount of shredded beef, then add lettuce and top it with salsa criolla. Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.
5
Serve
Serve the asado sandwiches warm and enjoy!
