Matambre is an Argentine dish whose name comes from its purpose to "kill hunger." It is a dish eaten as a snack while waiting for a heavier meal to entertain the stomach. It can be made from beef or pork, but the part used is the "matambre," better known in Mexico as suadero. It can be filled with different ingredients, depending on the purpose. It is cooked on the grill, in the oven, or in water, and even as "pizza."

Place the matambre with the side that has the most fat facing up, then sprinkle with plenty of salt, add pepper, spread with mustard, and add the grated cheese. Arrange the bacon and carrot sticks near the edge, leaving 4 cm of space at the edge. Arrange the bell peppers in the same way, leaving 4 cm of space. Finally, place the dehydrated tomato in the same manner. Sprinkle the green onion tops and peas all over the sheet of meat. Arrange the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise, along with the vegetables, and roll the meat. Tie with kitchen twine and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Transfer the rolled matambre to a pot and fill it to half the height of the meat. Then, add salt, cover the pot, and heat until the water boils. Lower the temperature and cook for approximately 1.5 hours. If necessary, refill with hot water to prevent it from drying out. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, unwrap and cut the roll into slices. Serve the slices of rolled matambre on a platter and accompany with salad.
