So after a long day at work, and an annoying drive home.. through some miracle of science (or perhaps an iced caramel macchiatto on the way home) I was still alive enough to cook some pretty amazing dinner. Though just barely.
I made some steak roulades stuffed with spinach, cheese, and some bread crumbs that were dampened with a little bit of sweet vermouth. Admittedly, the vermouth was kind of an afterthought because I have a bottle that I wanna go through.. and I sure as hell won’t drink the stuff.. but the vermouth really added something great to the flavor.
Anyway, so once I spread the mixture on the strips of beef, I rolled them up. I tied off the rolls so they didn’t ooze filling.. I browned them in a frying pan, then finished them off at 400 for about 15 minutes.
Along with this, I made some rainbow chard, and some baby potatoes. It was not quick.. nor was it simple. It was totally worth it though.

What did you tie the rolls off with?
Hah. Probably should have noted that. Kitchen twine. 🙂
Looks so darned yummy! Beats my tuna sandwich and salad last night.
It turned out better than I thought it would. I don’t think I’ve done roulade before but it all held together nicely. Sorry but, yeah.. that totally beats a tuna sandwich. :p
yum. sometimes a little effort and time are worth it! Because I love all your posts so much, I’ve nominated you, my dear, for the Liebster Award! (http://laborofwonder.com/2012/03/08/im-blushing/)
😮 Thanks!!
And yeah. I felt better about the day after I made something yummy. I never thought making beef roulade could serve as a stress outlet, but hey. 🙂
