Italian Grilled Sirloin Steak
Italian grilled sirloin steak features thinly sliced beef filled with a flavorful cheese and tomato mixture, then coated in seasoned bread crumbs and grilled to perfection, ideal for summer BBQs.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine drained stewed tomatoes, diced green pepper (if using), and grated Mozzarella cheese; mix well.
- Place about a tablespoon or more of the tomato mixture onto each thin steak, then roll up the steak.
- In another bowl, mix Italian bread crumbs, Romano and Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
- Dip each rolled steak into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Secure the rolls with toothpicks if necessary to hold their shape.
- Wrap each steak roll in foil and cook on the grill until the steak is done.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the sirloin tips in your favorite Italian dressing for a few hours before assembling. If you don't have grated Mozzarella, shredded cheese works well. For added depth, mix in some Italian herbs like oregano or basil to the tomato mixture. If you're short on time, pre-cooked grilled vegetables can replace the fresh green pepper.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Italian grilled sirloin steak rolls with a side of Pasta With Steamed Veggies for a complete meal. A light salad dressed with Italian Cheese Dressing complements the dish nicely. For a hearty option, pair it with Italian Party Mix for an appetizer, making it perfect for gatherings or casual dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, unwrap the foil and place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This method retains moisture and flavor better than microwaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the Mozzarella with provolone or gouda for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the cheese melts well to create a delicious filling. Mixing in a bit of ricotta can also add creaminess to the rolls.
What can I serve with the Italian grilled sirloin steak rolls?
These rolls pair well with a variety of sides. Consider serving them alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh arugula salad. Alternatively, garlic bread or a light pasta dish would complement the rich flavors of the steak.
How do I know when the steak is done cooking?
Grill the steak rolls until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Using a meat thermometer can help ensure they are cooked perfectly without overcooking. The cheese should be melted, and the juices should run clear.
