- 3 tablespoons red wine
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, cut in half
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1⁄4 cup beef broth
- 1⁄2 large red bell pepper, white inner membrane and seeds removed
- 1⁄2 large green bell pepper, white inner membrane and seeds removed
- 1 small zucchini
- 1⁄2 medium yellow onion
- 1⁄2 cup sliced mushrooms

- 8 pieces thinly sliced sirloin steak (approximately 1⁄8 to 1⁄4 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Substitutions and additions
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 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 cooking time to make sure it is thoroughly cooked.
How to make this Balsamic Glazed steak rolls recipe
STEP 1: 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 2: 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 a low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.
STEP 3: Prepare the vegetables by cutting the peppers, zucchini, and onion into strips around ¼ inch thick and about the length of the steak.
STEP 4: In a 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoons olive oil on medium high heat. Add the peppers, zucchini, onion and mushroom and season. Sauté until crisp, 1½ to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and take the vegetables out of the pan so they don’t keep cooking.
STEP 5: Prepare the steak by lightly brushing both side with olive oil (use around 1 tablespoon) then sprinkle with salt, pepper and chopped rosemary.
STEP 6: Divided the 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 they stick out at the ends.
STEP 7: Start with the side of the steak with the vegetables, carefully roll up the steak and use a toothpick to secure.
STEP 8: 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.
STEP 9: Remove the rolls to a platter, removing the toothpicks. Remove the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves from the glaze and serve over the steaks.
Storage
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.
These balsamic glazed steak roll ups will quickly be one of those hero recipes that everyone loves, even though they are stuffed with vegetables! You can enjoy the delicious balsamic glaze or even try something different such as an Asian inspired soy glaze. But the stuffed steak will be on your menu for a long time to come.
