Juicy stuffed beef round rolls packed with cheese, onion, celery, and parsley, offering savory flavors perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the beef round steak into 6 serving-sized pieces.
- Pound each piece to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Combine shredded American cheese, chopped onion, chopped celery, and parsley to make the cheese mixture.
- Place about 1/4 cup of cheese mixture in the center of each steak piece, reserving about 1 cup of cheese mixture.
- Roll up each steak jelly roll fashion and secure with wooden picks or string.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic or Italian seasoning to the cheese mixture. If you're out of American cheese, cheddar or mozzarella can be great substitutes. For a healthier twist, use lean cuts of beef or reduce the amount of cheese. Ensure the steak is pounded evenly for consistent cooking. Cooking with a cast iron skillet can give a nice sear to the beef.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the stuffed beef round with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A fresh garden salad or garlic bread pairs well, adding a refreshing contrast to the rich beef. For a hearty twist, consider serving it alongside Beef And Bread Dip for an appetizer that complements the main course.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers of stuffed beef round can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a baking dish with a splash of beef broth, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes until heated through. This method helps retain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stuffed beef rolls a day in advance. After assembling, wrap them tightly and refrigerate. When ready to cook, allow them to come to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
How do I know when the beef is cooked properly?
For best results, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium rare or 160°F for medium. Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before slicing, which allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
Can I freeze the stuffed beef rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the uncooked stuffed rolls. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
