Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute green peppers, onion, and pimento in oil until onion is soft.
- Stir in tomato paste, olives, cheese, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper.

- Spread a thin layer of the mixture over each steak; roll up and fasten with wooden picks. Place seam side down in a shallow baking pan.
- Stir water into the remaining tomato mixture.
- Heat to boiling, then pour over the steaks.
- Bake in a 375° oven for 45 minutes, or until meat is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a dash of hot sauce to the filling mixture. If you want a vegetarian twist, substitute the steak with grilled eggplant slices or portobello mushrooms. For a more robust flavor, use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato paste. Also, feel free to mix in some Italian herbs for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chipped steak rolls with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Easy Supper options like Make Ahead Mashed Or Whipped Potatoes, which complement the rich flavors of the rolls. A light vinaigrette salad can also balance the dish nicely.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover chipped steak rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a baking dish with a splash of water and cover with foil. Bake at 350°F until heated through, about 20-25 minutes. This method helps maintain moisture in the dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the cube or minute steaks with chicken breast or even turkey slices. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, since poultry may require less time to cook through. For a vegetarian option, consider using grilled vegetables or tofu.
What can I do if I don't have black olives?
If black olives are unavailable, you can use green olives or skip them altogether. Adding capers or a small amount of chopped sun-dried tomatoes can also provide a nice briny flavor that complements the dish.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls and place them in the baking pan, then cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to adjust the baking time if they're coming straight from the fridge, as they may take a bit longer to cook through.
