Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs flank steak (or top sirloin), thinly sliced
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes). Add garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Beef: Season beef slices with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the onion mixture onto each beef slice, top with shredded Gruyère cheese, then roll up and secure with toothpicks.
- Sear the Roll-Ups: In the same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Brown the roll-ups on all sides (about 3-4 minutes), then transfer to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until beef is cooked through and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Let the roll-ups rest for a few minutes, remove toothpicks, and serve with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Meat Options: Flank steak works best, but you can substitute with top sirloin or even chicken breasts for a lighter option.
- Cheese Options: Gruyère is traditional, but Swiss, mozzarella, or provolone can also be used.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the roll-ups in advance and refrigerate them before cooking. Just bake when ready!
