Beefsteak Rolled

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Spread a layer of turkey dressing over the round steak.

  3. Starting at one end, carefully roll the steak and tie it to keep its shape.

Bake and serve

  1. Bake in the oven, basting often.

  2. Make a gravy from the drippings and pour it around the meat when ready to serve.

What each ingredient does

Round steak
Forms the main body of the roll and provides the meat that is cooked and sliced.
Dressing
Adds moisture and flavour to the inside of the roll as it cooks.
Drippings
Carry concentrated meat flavour and form the base of the gravy.

The step that matters

Rolling and tying the steak. A tight, even roll with secure ties keeps the dressing inside during baking and helps the roll hold a neat shape for slicing.
