Greek Style Steak Rolls

1 Comment on Greek Style Steak Rolls

I made this delectable steak dish to go along with my Greek Cucumber Noodle Salad.  It had a lot of the same flavors and ingredients as the steak rolls, so the two paired well together.

This dish is a simple premise:  thinly slice some steak, sauté some vegetables, spoon the veggies onto the slices of steak, roll them up, and sear.  You can really use flavors from any place in the world.  I (obviously) went with Greece.  I did take some help from the store and bought already sliced steak.  (It was called Sliced Sandwich Steak.)  It was a very affordable cut of meat and saved me some time (and patience!).

I used some of my favorites vegetables as the filling for the rolls: a tantalizing mixture of green beans, roasted peppers, and cherry tomatoes.  I threw in some fresh oregano and salty feta as well.  I was overzealous and made for veggies than I needed.  I was totally okay with that though.  They were a great side late in the week.  You do need to plan ahead for this meal.  I marinated the steak in my fridge for 2 hours before I started cooking.  You could certainly marinate it before you go to work in the morning though.

Start with the marinade…

  • Place some sliced steak into a large dish.

  • Season the beef with ground black pepper on both sides.  (There is soy sauce in the marinade, so salt is not necessary.)

Make sure you remember to remove the toothpicks before serving!  Enjoy!
