Rolled Steak
Rolled steak is a hearty, flavorful dish featuring tender beef wrapped around a savory bread crumb mixture, perfect for special occasions or comforting family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wipe steak and sprinkle with flour.
- Pound extra flour into steak.
- Mix chopped onion, parsley flakes, salt, melted butter, and dry bread crumbs, then spread on the steak, keeping the mixture 1 inch from the edge to prevent squeezing out.
- Roll the steak, tie securely, and roast in a slow oven (300° to 350°F) for about 2 1/2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture. If round steak isn't available, you can substitute it with flank steak for a similar result. Ensuring the filling stays within an inch of the edge while rolling will prevent it from spilling out during cooking. For a heartier meal, serve alongside Carrot-Potato Scallops.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the rolled steak into servings and serve with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. A rich gravy made from the drippings would be a perfect accompaniment. This dish pairs beautifully with Jelly Bar Cookies for a sweet finish to your dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover rolled steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can wrap it in foil and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while round steak is ideal, you can use flank steak or even pork loin as alternatives. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, since different cuts may require varying times to become tender.
What can I do if I don't have dry bread crumbs?
If you don’t have dry bread crumbs, you can easily make your own by toasting bread and then grinding it into crumbs. Alternatively, crushed crackers or panko can also work as a suitable substitute.
How do I know when the rolled steak is done cooking?
To ensure the rolled steak is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful dish.
