Tips & Substitutions
For a juicier steak roll, consider marinating the flank steak in a mixture of olive oil, vinegar, and herbs for a few hours before preparing. If you don't have suet, you can substitute with additional butter or even bacon fat for added flavor. Be sure to tightly roll the steak to keep the filling secure while cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the round or flank steak roll sliced thickly, allowing the filling to be visible. Pair with a fresh Green Tomato Salad for a refreshing contrast, or serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes. A drizzle of gravy or a side of Horseradish sauce can elevate the dish further.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak roll can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, slice the roll and warm it in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. This will help maintain its moisture and tenderness.
