Ingredients

  •  bay leaf 
  • 16 ounce beef top sirloin steaks 
  • pinch pepper black freshly ground to taste
  • 0.5 cup bread crumbs 
  •  eggs 
  • cloves garlic crushed
  • tablespoon olive oil 
  • tablespoon oregano fresh chopped
  • 0.3 cup freshly parmesan cheese shredded
  • tablespoons raisins chopped
  • pinch pepper flakes red to taste
  • pinch salt to taste
  • 1.5 cups tomato sauce 
  • cup water 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • mixing bowl
  • kitchen thermometer
  • meat tenderizer
  • kitchen twine

Directions

  1. Place steaks between 2 pieces of heavy plastic; pound meat about 1/4-inch thick using a meat pounder. If a piece of meat breaks off, use it to patch a thinner area.
  2. Place bread crumbs into a mixing bowl and stir in garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, raisins, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, oregano, and egg until thoroughly combined.
  3. Season steak with salt and pepper; place half the bread crumb stuffing onto the bottom 2/3 of a steak, leaving the top third of the steak without stuffing. Lightly press the stuffing onto the meat and roll the steak up into a tight roll, starting from the stuffed end. Tie 3 to 4 pieces of kitchen string around the roll to hold it together. Trim ends of string. Repeat with remaining steak and stuffing.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the steak rolls in the hot oil until well browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  5. Pour in water and dissolve pan juices and browned bits of food in the water.
  6. Season steak rolls with salt and pepper; add red pepper flakes and bay leaf to the water.
  7. Spread tomato sauce onto rolls. Pan liquid should cover the rolls about halfway up.
  8. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes; turn rolls over and cook covered about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
  9. Remove from pan, transfer to a platter, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Raise heat to medium, bring sauce to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until sauce has reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Slice the rolls crosswise.
  11. Serve arranged on a little sauce and drizzle more sauce on top.
