What each ingredient does

Beefsteak
Forms the outer meat that wraps the stuffing and carries the roasting flavour.
Stuffing
Fills the roll, adding flavour and moisture to the lean beef as it cooks.

The step that matters

Tying the roll tightly. A loose tie lets the stuffing spill out and cook unevenly. A firm roll holds its shape, so the beef browns and cooks evenly around the filling.
