Ingredients for Beef Rolls In Red Wine Tomato Sauce

  • Top Sirloin Steaks
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • 3 oz prosciutto (thinly sliced)
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Beef Rolls In Red Wine Tomato Sauce

  1. Pound 1 lb beef (thinly sliced) into 1/4-inch thick cutlets.
  2. Spread 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese over each beef cutlet.
  3. Top each cutlet with 1 thin slice of prosciutto (about 3 oz total). Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef rolls on all sides for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove beef rolls from skillet and set aside. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) to the skillet.
  6. Cook vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Pour in 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Chianti), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
  8. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45-55 minutes, or until beef is tender.
  10. Remove toothpicks from beef rolls.
  11. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  12. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley, over pasta or polenta.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
