Balsamic Steak + Vegetable Roll Ups

My husband prepared Balsamic Steak & Vegetable Roll-Ups when he found a recipe on Paleoleap. Although he said it was quite the faff to make, it was SOOOOO good! I had been sent a bottle of Lupetta Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, along with some other Italian deli goodies, and it was a perfect dish to try out the vinegar.

The recipe called for skirt steak, we used frying steak, and it also called for ghee, which I have no clue how to make (I know it’s something to do with clarifying butter) so we just used regular butter. There is a fair bit of prep work involved in cutting up all the vegetables into matchsticks, but the end result is worth it for a special dinner! It was one of those dishes that you don’t want to end, it really was that delicious!

  6. Add the dried herbs, salt and pepper then transfer to a bowl.
  7. Arrange a small pile of vegetables into the centre of each slice of beef. Tightly roll up and secure with a toothpick.
