Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced beef (flank, sirloin, or top round)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), chopped
½ cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: 2 tbsp red wine for deglazing
For Garlic-Herb Butter Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Optional Garnish:
Flaky sea salt, extra herbs, balsamic glaze
Instructions
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, and herbs until creamy and fragrant.
Assemble the Rolls: Lay out beef slices, season lightly, and spread a thin layer of the butter mixture over each piece. Sprinkle with cheese.
Roll and Secure: Roll each slice tightly and secure with a toothpick or skewer.
Sear for Flavor: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet. Sear rolls on all sides until golden brown (1–2 minutes per side).
Make the Sauce: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan with garlic and parsley; pour over the seared rolls.
Bake: Transfer to a 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and beef is cooked through.
Serve: Garnish with flaky salt and herbs. Serve immediately with sides or sliced as appetizers.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble rolls up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Freezer-Friendly: Freeze uncooked rolls for up to 1 month; thaw overnight before baking.
Dairy-Free Option: Use olive oil and dairy-free cheese for a lighter version.
Air Fryer Method: After searing, cook rolls at 375°F for 8–10 minutes for a quicker option.
