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
Season both sides of the beefsteak with salt and pepper.
Spread the dressing evenly over the steak.
Roll the steak up tightly and sew it to keep it in place.
Roast
Roast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 1 hour.

What each ingredient does
- Beefsteak
- Forms the main body of the dish; rolling it keeps the meat compact while it roasts.
The step that matters
Roll the steak tightly and sew it closed. As meat cooks it contracts and loosens, so a tight roll with firm stitches keeps the layers together and the roast holding its shape.
