Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

Measure	Ingredient
6	Thin slivers round steak; (about 2 lbs.)
½ cup	Bread crumbs
	Parmesan or Romano cheese
½ cup	Chopped parsley
2	Cloves garlic; finely chopped
	Salt & pepper to taste
½ cup	Olive oil
4 cups	Canned; peeled tomatoes
1	Can; (6 oz) tomato paste
2 cups	Water

Using a mallet or other blunt instrument, pund the meat slices thin (or have your butcher do it for you) Sprinkle the center of each slice with a mixture of the bread crumbs, ½ cup of the grated cheese, and the parsley and garlic. Sprinkle with the salt & pepper, and roll each slice like a jelly roll. Tie the rolls securely with string and brown them in the olive oil, preferably in a Dutch oven.

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and half of the water to the beef rolls.

Bring mixture to a boil, and simmer gently for 1, ½ -2 hours. Add additional water as the sauce boils down. Season with salt & pepper to taste, and serve with cooked pasta and additional grated Parmesan chesse.
