Beef shoulder stuffed with olives
4 servings
30 minutes
Beef shoulder stuffed with olives is a true embodiment of European gastronomy, where the rich flavor of meat meets the spicy notes of olives. The tradition of stuffing meat with fillings that add depth and character originates from the culinary traditions of Mediterranean countries. Marinating in a mixture of wine vinegar, olive oil, and spices allows the meat to unfold, filling it with tenderness and aromas. Grilling adds a light smoky crust while preserving juiciness inside. Each sliced portion surprises with a harmony of textures—tender meat and firm olives with a sharp hint of red pepper. The dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of red wine and fresh vegetables, making it perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
