Welcome to the avocado kitchen; today we're making Asado Negro.

Use a round boy beef roast of approximately 2 kilograms, remove excess skin, wash, and dry it.

Prepare the marinade in a container with a lid: add 1 tablespoon sweet chili paste, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 2 tablespoons garlic powder or 5 cloves fresh crushed garlic, and 5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

Stir well to integrate the marinade, then add 250 ML red wine and 2 bay leaves; mix again.

Massage the marinade into the meat, cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight).

Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking; drain and pat dry.

Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add 200 ML sunflower oil.

Add 300 grams of grated paper (panela/piloncillo) to the pot and let it fry until it melts and foams.

Carefully seal the meat in the caramelized sugar on all sides using tongs to keep the juices inside.

Once the caramel is ready (just before burning), remove the meat and start the sauce in the same pot.

Add 100 grams chopped garlic, 1 large chopped onion, 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/2 red bell pepper, 10 olives, 12 capers, and 2 diced tomatoes; sauté until softened.

Add the marinade wine and optionally a can of Malta; cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally and turning the meat.

If the mixture dries out, add more red wine as needed.

After cooking, remove the meat and let it rest while finishing the sauce.

Remove bay leaves and blend the sauce until smooth.

Slice the rested roast into 1-2 centimeter thick wheels, being careful as the meat is very tender.

Return the sauce to low heat, add the sliced roast, and cook for about 20 more minutes to absorb the flavors.
