Balsamic Steak & Veggie Roll-Ups



Ingredients

  • 1½–2 lb skirt steak, 8-10 thinly sliced sirloins

  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 carrot

  • 1 bell pepper

  • ½ a zucchini (depending on size)

  • 5-6 green onions

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning

  • Salt & Pepper (according to taste)

For the Balsamic glaze sauce

  • 2 tsp butter

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped shallots

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • ¼ cup beef broth

Directions

Marinade

  1. Start by prepping the steak.I trimmed as much fat as I could and cut the steak into 3 inch wide strips. Tenderize the meat with a meat hammer.

  2. Season the steak pieces generously on both sides with salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce. And let them sit in the marinade for atleast 30 mins if not a couple hours.

Veggies

While the steak is marinating you can prep the filling for them.

  1. Chop up the carrot, bell pepper and zucchini into matchstick size pieces, little longer than the width of the steak strips. I used a mandolin slicer to jet thin sliced and hand cut them to make matchsticks.

  2. Cut the green onion in a similar size and sliced them in half length wise.

  3. For the garlic, simply peel and crush the cloves with the flat side of your knife, just enough to bruise them.

Sauce

  1. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan on medium heat.

  2. Add the finely chopped shallot and saute it for a minute or 2 until they turn soft and translucent.

  3. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and beef stock and stir to mix everything well.

  4. Allow the sauce to come to a boil and reduce to almost half its volume. You’ll notice it starts becoming thicker and have the consistency of syrup. The butter also starts separating and comes to the top. Turn the heat off and transfer the sauce to a bowl.

  5. Assembly & Cooking

  6. In the same pan (no need to wash it) add a touch of olive oil and toss in the garlic cloves to allow them to flavor the oil for a few minutes.

  7. Turn the heat up to high and toss in the carrots, bell pepper and zucchini (there’s no need to cook the green onion) and stir fry the veggies for no longer than 2-3 minutes.

  8. Season them with the the Italian herb seasoning and salt and transfer the veggies to a bowl.

  9. To assemble the steak rolls, simply take a strip of the marinated steak and lay it with the short side towards you. Place the veggies (don't forget the green onion!) in the middle and oll the beef up over the filling, securing it with toothpick. Repeat the same with the other rolls.

  10. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil swirling to coat bottom. When hot, add beef rolls, seam side down, not touching and pan fry for a couple minutes. Then turn roll and cook it on all sides in the same way. Cook until you’re desired done-ness. I cooked mine medium well and seasoned it with some mesquite seasoning for a touch of a smokey flavor.

  11. Remove the toothpick and serve with the balsamic glaze sauce spooned over the top of each roll.
