Recipe from Peggy Mitchell

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

5 minutes, depends on your steak preference

Yield

Makes 8 Roll ups

Ingredients you'll need

Sirloin steaks - Try and get the thinnest steaks so they will roll easily. If you can't, use a meat hammer to thin them out.
Worcestershire sauce - this adds a wonderful flavor to the meat and also tenderizes it.
garlic powder - You can also use finely minced fresh garlic.
onion powder - Just a sprinkle on the meat makes it taste delicious when combined with the garlic

The filling

Bell Peppers - Choose a selection of yellow, red, orange, green peppers. This adds lovely color to the dish
Gruyere cheese - You can opt for a different cheese if you prefer, such as Cheddar or Mozerella
Onion

The Balsamic Glaze

Butter This will add richness and contribute to a good shine for the glaze
Shallots - finely chopped.
Balsamic vinegar
Brown sugar
Beef broth

** If using Chicken or pork, use a meat hammer and flatten so the meat is an even thickness.

Beef Roll Ups. Delicious tender pieces of beef wrapped around cheese and vegetables, and coated in a lovely Balsamic Glaze. A really quick and easy recipe too

Instructions

1. Lay out the sirloin steaks, if they are a little thick, use a meat mallet and bash them a little.

2. Add the seasonings, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce to the meat, (mix into the meat well on both sides) then set aside and prepare the filling.

3. Cut the peppers and onion to matchstick size and set aside.

Make the Balsamic Sauce

1. In a pan, melt the butter then add the shallots and cook until translucent.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir, bringing it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat a little and allow the sauce to reduce in volume to half the original amount.

As this reduction takes place, you will notice the sauce becomes thicker and a little sticky. Once reduced, transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Make the filling

Using the same pan from the sauce, lightly saute the peppers with a drop of olive oil for 1 minute and remove from heat.

Cook & Assemble the beef rolls

1. Lay the rolls flat, then in the centre of each, place the peppers and onion, and divide the cheese between the 8 rolls.

Season with salt and pepper if you wish.

2. Roll them tightly then using a toothpick, secure the end so the rolls don't come apart.

3. Heat a large fry pan (you don't need any oil as there is oil on the meat already), and when hot enough, place the beef rolls in the pan, seam side down.

As soon as they are sealed (30 - 60 seconds), turn the rolls so they cook on all sides.

Medium to rare is the most popular, however, you can cook for as long or short a time as you like.

4. When done, remove from the heat, place on a plate and allow to rest for a minute or two, and remove the toothpicks.

5. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the tops as in my photos and serve! Enjoy!

    On the beef rolls – I had my doubts about the sauce but made it anyway. I could have literally drunk that sauce! I will surely make it again to serve in other dishes. Thanks!

  2. I made this for my husband’s birthday and my family loved it so much, my son asked me to make it for his birthday. My daughter does not like onions, peppers or cheese, nor can I seem to get my family to eat any kind of summer squash. So I sauted onions, peppers, carrots and yellow squash for the filling. I made one steak roll with just carrots for my daughter and put everything else in the rest of the family’s. No one knew they were eating summer squash (looked like the cheese) and it tasted great. I used the sirloin steak as recommended both times, but the second time, I had the butcher slice the steaks to 1/4″ for me.

  3. 5 stars
    Made the beef rolls without the cheese, added some fresh garlic to the peppers and onions, it was delicious! Will definitely be making again!
