Cheesy Beef Morcon-don Bleu

Beef Morcon-don Bleu is a famous Filipino dish that is usually served during festive events like Christmas and other celebrations. It's similar to a Chicken Cordon Bleu, except it's made with beef - and this recipe has a cheesy twist!

Instructions

Beef

1. Marinate the beef in soy sauce and lemon juice for at least 1 hour.
2. Place the beef on a flat surface and arrange the sausages, pickled cucumber, carrot, Emborg Shredded Mozzarella and egg on one side.
3. Roll the beef, enclosing the fillings, and tie with twine to ensure that the beef will not open up.
4. Heat the cooking oil in a pan.
5. Dredge the rolled beef in flour and fry until the colour of the outer part turns medium brown.
6. Transfer the fried rolled beef to a casserole dish then pour in the beef stock and bring it to a boil.
7. Pour in half of the soy sauce/lemon juice marinade, salt and simmer until the beef is tender (about 2 hours using an ordinary casserole dish or 30 minutes using a pressure cooker).

Bechamel Sauce

1. Create a roux in a shallow skillet by heating the Emborg Butter with flour.
2. Add the beef stock and the Emborg Full Cream Milk.
3. Add the Emborg Cooking Cream and cook until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble

1. Optional: Fry the simmered meat for at least 2 minutes until it is crispy on the outside.
2. Remove the strings and slice into serving-sized pieces.
3. Pour the Bechamel sauce on top of the Morcon slices then top with Emborg Shredded Cheddar. Garnish with basil if desired.
