Smothered Steak Roll-Ups
Tender rolled steak stuffed with seasoned dressing, browned to perfection, then simmered in creamy mushroom soup for a hearty, comforting meal suitable for family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the steak into 6 pieces, approximately 8 x 4 inches each.
- Pound each piece with a meat hammer or the edge of a heavy saucer to tenderize.
- Place 1/4 cup of prepared herb seasoned stuffing near the center of each piece of meat.
- Roll up the meat around the stuffing, tuck in the ends, and secure with skewers or toothpicks.
- In a skillet, brown the roll-ups in shortening; then pour off excess fat.
- Add the cream of mushroom soup and water to the skillet.
- Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the stuffing mixture. If you don't have herb seasoned stuffing, plain stuffing mixed with dried herbs like thyme and rosemary will work. For a lighter version, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a low-fat alternative or a homemade mushroom sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these smothered steak roll-ups over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce. A side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad pairs well to balance the richness of the dish. For a cozy meal, consider serving with some warm rolls or cornbread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups in a skillet with a splash of water or broth, cover, and heat on low until warmed through. This prevents them from drying out and keeps the stuffing moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use flank steak or even chicken breast as a substitute. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken may require less time to cook through.

If you're short on stuffing, you can mix in some cooked rice or quinoa to stretch it further. Alternatively, you can add finely chopped vegetables for added volume and nutrition.
Can I freeze the roll-ups before cooking?
