  3. ROLL. Lay marinated beef on top of table. Place pork mixture 3/4 length of meat. Arrange sliced hard boiled eggs from one end of the meat to the other end. Roll meat tightly to ensure filling is sealed in. Tie with a string all over meat to avoid rupture of meat when frying.

  5. SIMMER. In a separate pan, boil water and the marinated juice, bay leaf and oregano leaf. Add the fried stuffed beef and simmer until meat is tender. Add milk, butter, and cheese to this sauce. Boil until sauce thickens.
