Cheese injected meat

WiltOnTilt · March 2

Has anyone ever tried this? One of the Brazilian restaurants in town does some kind of flank steak or round and somehow gets provolone injected in there. If you've been to a Brazilian place you can imagine them walking around with a bug hunk of meat on a stick and slicing off pieces with cheese oozing out. I'd like to try to replicate this somehow. Any ideas?

Sounds great. No clue how, but I will grab a beer and wait for responses B-)

Many Spanish countries prize their "fried cheese". Dominican Republic is one. Had a baseball player i coached, and his parents were representing their govenment here is the states. They introduced me to this "fried cheese". It is white and hard, but doesn't melt like our cheeses. It turns a very nice brown color when fried, and is very good. My wife makes a very good meatloaf with a chedder cheese stuffing, thats about as close as i have come to injecting cheese into meat.

Hey wilt- Great question. I've done it many times and it's really good. I start with a large bone in rib roast, like maybe 3 bones. Then take a block of provolone and cut it into 1/2" squares about 3-4" in length. Freeze them until hard. Then take a larding iron (I use my knife steel but you can use a straight knife, or other piece of metal that can push through the roast and leave a small hole. . Push a few holes through the roast with your larding iron (maybe 4-5 places). Take the cheese out of the freezer, put a little lube...er..olive oil on it and push it in with your fingers. I also do asparagus and jalapeño the same way which makes for a great Brazilian rib roast. Then just cook it at like 250-300 indirect until med rare and there you have a great Brazilian Rib Roast. Enjoy- they are great and tons of fun to do for guests.

The only place i know that carries this is Sam's Club -- it is very white in color and has a Mexican looking guy riding a donkey on the front -- it is packaged and sized to the below photo -- use this photo for color and size only because this is another type of cheese. And it is fairly cheap, about six bucks for the block. You can slice it into bite size pieces and fry it in a frying pan -- it doesn't melt and it gets real crispy. They served it with wine -- me and my brother were blitzed in no time!!!

I about $@&@ my diaper when i saw you were back. Stay on dude...miss you, your cooks and wit.

Forgot about the garlic cloves. Make sure to stuff some of those in as well. You don't need to freeze them. Just a little olive oil.

Thanks @chubbs. I never really totally left but I'm just not contributing the way I used to. I only check in a few times a weeks and that's getting less and less. Hope you guys are all good. I'll be around every once in a while.

The fried cheese may be made from queso blanco. It will get soft, but doesn't melt completely. Cannot say for sure about the frying, but a local Mexican restaurant sprinkles it on some of their dishes and it only gets soft never runny.

Howdy, Stranger!
