Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef Top Round or Flank pounded thin.
  • 1/2 Cup Italian Breadcrumbs.
  • 1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese Shaker Style
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Finely minced.
  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil For brushing the outside.
  • 2 Toothpicks per roll.

Equipment

  • 1 Meat Mallet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Baking Sheet with Wire Rack
  • 1 Chef's Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Pound the beef slices with a meat mallet until uniform and thin. Season the meat lightly with salt.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup Parmesan, and minced garlic. Stir in the 3 tbsp of olive oil until the mixture feels like wet sand.
  3. The Assembly:
  4. Spread a thin layer of the breadcrumb mixture over each slice of beef, leaving a small margin at the edges. Roll tightly and secure each with two toothpicks.
  5. Brush the outside of each roll with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. This ensures the breadcrumbs inside stay moist while the beef gets that signature broiler char.
  6. Set your rack 4″ from the heat. Broil for 3 minutes, flip, and finish for another 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy.
