1 cup of water (240 ml)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Clean the beef, remove excess fat and season with salt and pepper
Using a large sharp knife, make several deep cuts in the center of the beef to form a 4 cm diameter hole (you will remove a small amount of meat; what's important is opening up an orifice for stuffing)
Inside the cavity, place the linguiça, beetroot, and salt
Close the opening with a needle and thread suitable for cooking
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and brown the beef on all sides
Add the onion and garlic, and fry for 3 minutes
Add the tomato and water
Cover and cook over high heat until boiling
Adjust seasoning
Reduce heat and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the beef is tender
As the broth thickens, add more water as needed
The broth should be thick
Cut into slices and serve immediately
