Ingredients:
- 8 thin slices of beef (scallop-style)
- 1 courgette
- 1 carrot
- 1 red pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 50 g grated parmesan cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Toothpick
- Vegetable broth to taste
Preparation:
1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by washing the vegetables well. Cut the courgette, carrot and pepper into julienne strips, that is, into thin strips. Also finely slice the onion and mince the garlic clove.
2. Brown the vegetables: In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fry the garlic and onion for a few minutes until golden. Then add the chopped vegetables and cook over high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often. The vegetables should be soft but not overcooked. Season with salt and pepper, then turn off the heat and let cool.
3. Preparation of the rolls: Lay the beef slices out on a cutting board, beat them lightly with a meat tenderizer to make them thinner. On each slice, place a little of the vegetable mix and a sprinkling of grated parmesan. Roll the slices up and secure them with a toothpick to keep their shape.
4. Cooking the rolls: In the same pan used for the vegetables, add another drizzle of oil and brown the rolls over a high flame on all sides until golden. At this point, lower the heat, add a ladle of vegetable broth and cover with a lid. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender and well cooked.
5. Service: Once ready, transfer the rolls to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve the beef rolls hot, perhaps accompanied by a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh mixed salad.
Chef's tip:
To make your rolls even tastier, you can add a slice of raw ham or bacon inside, on top of the vegetables, before rolling them up. This will add a smoky and richer note to the dish.
