Get Rolling

A question to all out there with a houseful of guests this week, are you running out of dinner ideas yet?
Perhaps other's are looking for an elegant New Years Eve dinner idea?

This dish looks like you spent all day in the kitchen when really it just takes minutes to prepare.
You can substitute the stuffing ingredients with just about anything you have on hand.

Serve with steamed white rice or mashed potatoes and green beans.

Stuffed Beef Rolls with Red Wine & Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup bread crumbs or diced day old bread
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 each red bell pepper and onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup of beef broth
  • 1/2 tsp each of basil, oregano, thyme and savoury
  • salt and pepper
  • ~oil
  • 4 (or as many as you need) very thin beef steaks such as flank steak
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
Preheat oven to 375F
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well until thoroughly moistened.

Lay out the beef steaks. Place a large spoonful of stuffing on one end of each steak and roll up tightly. Tie with kitchen twine if you like.

Heat olive oil in an oven proof frying pan. Place beef rolls in pan and brown on all sides then place in the oven for 20 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and place back on stove. Remove beef rolls and keep warm.
Pour wine and tomato sauce in pan and heat to boiling stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and cook until thickened. Season with sat and pepper to taste. Return beef rolls to pan and coat with sauce. Serve with sauce over top.
