Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons red wine
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, cut in half
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup beef broth
- ½ large red bell pepper, white inner membrane, and seeds removed
- ½ large green bell pepper, white inner membrane, and seeds removed
- 1 small zucchini
- ½ medium yellow onion
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- Salt and pepper, to taste (approximately 1 teaspoon more each)
- 8 pieces thinly sliced sirloin steak (approximately ⅛ to ¼ inch thick)

PRO TIP:
Whichever cut of meat you choose to use, make sure the steaks are long and thin cuts so that you are able to roll them easily.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS FOR STEAK ROLLS
PEPPERS: You can use smaller peppers for this, but the big ones cover the steak nicely and ensure you have a filled roll when you roll it up.
VEGETABLES: if you don’t like these particular vegetables, then you can swap them for others. The important thing is to have some filling inside the roll. This stops the steak from sitting against itself and cooking unevenly.
STEAK: Should you have any problems finding thinly sliced sirloin, you could also use either flank steak slices or skirt steak in its place. Just watch the cooking time to make sure it is thoroughly cooked.
How To Make This Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls Recipe
STEP ONE: Start with the glaze so it can simmer while you cook the steak. In a small bowl add the cornstarch into the broth until smooth.
STEP TWO: Take a small saucepan and add the balsamic vinegar, red wine, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and salt and bring to a low boil. Stir in the broth mixture and boil for 1 minute, then reduce to low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.
STEP THREE: Prepare the vegetables by cutting the peppers, zucchini, and onion into thin strips around ¼ inch thick and about the width of the steak strips.
STEP FOUR: In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the peppers, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until crisp-tender, 1½ to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and take the vegetables out of the pan so they don’t keep cooking.
STEP FIVE: Prepare the steak pieces by lightly brushing both sides with olive oil (use around 1 tablespoon) then season the steak with salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary.
STEP SIX: Divide the sautéed vegetables between the pieces of steak, placing them at the end across a short side. Lay them perpendicular to the length of the steak – they should be wider, so the end of the vegetables will stick out the end of the steak roll.
STEP SEVEN: Start with the side of the steak with the vegetables, carefully roll the beef up and use a toothpick to secure it.
STEP EIGHT: Put the skillet back on the heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Place the steak rolls in the pan, seam side down, and cook for 1 minute per side or until the desired doneness.

You can also cook these rolls on the grill for a slightly smokier flavor.
STEP NINE: Remove the beef rolls to a platter, removing the toothpicks. Remove the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves from the balsamic glaze sauce and serve over top of each roll.

Storing Steak Rolls
IN THE FRIDGE: You can prepare all of the ingredients and store them in the fridge before they are cooked. Once cooked, it is best to eat straight away as if you put them in the fridge or freezer, the vegetables will go mushy and the sauce won’t be very nice.
IN THE FREEZER: It is best to make this recipe fresh as the vegetables will become mushy in the freezer.
These balsamic glazed steak roll-ups will quickly be one of those hero recipes that everyone loves. You can enjoy the delicious balsamic vinegar glaze or even try something different such as an Asian-inspired soy glaze. Either way, the stuffed steak will be on your menu for a long time to come.
