Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound the meat until quite thin and cut into 3-inch squares.

Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the round steak in the soy sauce and garlic for a few hours or overnight. If you don't have fresh garlic, garlic powder can be a quick substitute. For a twist, add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling. Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid soggy roll-ups.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Beef Roll-Ups Milanese with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness. They pair beautifully with Mostaccioli With Tomato Sauce for a hearty meal. Consider offering a light garlic bread on the side for a complete Italian experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute round steak with flank steak or even chicken breast if you prefer. Just ensure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken may require a bit longer to cook through.
What can I do if I don’t have bread crumbs?
If you don't have bread crumbs on hand, you can use crushed crackers or panko for a crunchier texture. Alternatively, stale bread can be processed in a food processor to make your own fresh bread crumbs.
How can I make the roll-ups spicier?
To add some heat, try incorporating red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños into the filling mixture. This will give the Beef Roll-Ups a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors.
