Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls

Proverbs 31 Woman making it happen!  Pinterest'd another recipe courtesy of "Picture the Recipe"

According to my husband this was absolutely delicious!!!  Unfortunately, my sinuses are getting the best of me and I could not taste a thing, except the texture was perfect!!

Want the recipe?  Here it goes..........

Ingredients: (makes 8-10 rolls)
* 1 1/2 – 2 lb skirt steak/ 8-10 thin sliced sirloin
* Salt & Pepper (according to taste)
* 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* Any steak seasoning you like
* 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Veggie filling -
* 1 carrot
* 1 bell pepper
* 1/2 a zucchini (depending on size)
* 5-6 green onions
* 2 cloves of garlic
* 1 tsp italian herb seasoning


For the Balsamic glaze sauce-
* 2 tsp butter
* 2 tbsp finely chopped shallots
* 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
* 2 tbsp brown sugar
* 1/4 cup beef broth


FIRST:  Cut the steak into 3" wide strips and season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire Sauce, place in zip lock and let marinade in fridge while getting the other ingredients together....Let's get started.......


Cut Carrot, Bell Pepper & Zucchini into match-stick size pieces.  Place in a bowl.  Cut Green Onions the same, but DO NOT mix together with other veggies, place on the side for now.

Finely chop the shallots and set aside, then peel and crush the garlic

Now for the Sauce:  Melt the butter in a small sauce pan on medium heat.
 Add the finely chopped shallot and sautee it for a minute or 2 until they turn soft and transluscent.
 

Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and beef stock and stir to mix everything well.
 

Allow the sauce to come to a boil and reduce to almost half its volume. You’ll notice it starts becoming thicker and have the consistency of syrup. The butter also starts separating and comes to the top. Turn the heat off and transfer the sauce to a bowl.

In the same pan (no need to wash it) add a touch of olive oil and toss in the garlic cloves to allow them to flavor the oil for a few minutes.
- Turn the heat up to high and toss in the carrots, bell pepper and zucchini (there’s no need to cook the green onion) and stir fry the veggies for no longer than 2-3 minutes.
- Season them with the the itlalian herb seasoning and salt and transfer the veggies to a bowl

To assemble the steak rolls, simply take a strip of the marinated steak and lay it with the short side towards you. Place the veggies (dont forget the green onion!) in the middle and roll the beef up over the filling, securing it with toothpick. Repeat the same with the other rolls.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil swirling to coat bottom. When hot, add beef rolls, seam side down, not touching and pan fry for a couple minutes. Then turn roll and cook it on all sides in the same way. Cook until you’re desired done-ness I cooked mine for a total of 9 min. turning when brown seared on one side. I cooked mine medium-rare and seasoned it with some Adobo for a touch of Latin flavor :)

Serve with the balsamic glaze sauce spooned over the top of each roll
  
ENJOY!!
