Beef roll is a classic and versatile recipe that has been present on the tables of many cultures. Its popularity lies in the ease of preparation and the possibility of combining different ingredients to create a unique dish that suits all tastes.
In this version, instead of using a whole piece of meat, ground beef is used, which gives it a soft and juicy texture, allowing the seasonings and filling to be distributed more evenly.
Additionally, this recipe incorporates fresh elements such as spinach and mushrooms, along with a special blend of sauces that provide a delicious and slightly sweet flavor.
Here is a detailed recipe with the ingredients provided and some tips to make it even more special!
Ingredients
1 kg of ground beef
2 eggs
1 onion (grated)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of paprika
Fresh parsley, chopped to taste
250 g of spinach (fresh or frozen, well drained)
200 g of fresh mushrooms, chopped
200 g of grated mozzarella or parmesan cheese
4 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp of tomato sauce
1 tsp of mustard
1 tbsp of honey
For the salad (optional)
1 cucumber
1 tomato
50 g of walnuts
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp of honey
A splash of olive oil
Preparation
Prepare the meat mixture: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, eggs, grated onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, paprika and parsley. Knead well until all the ingredients are combined.
Filling the roll: On a sheet of cling film, spread the meat mixture into a rectangle. Cover with a layer of well-drained spinach, chopped mushrooms and grated cheese.
Roll: Using the cling film, carefully roll the meat from one end into a firm cylinder. Remove the cling film and secure the roll with kitchen string.
Sauce and cooking: Mix the soy sauce, tomato sauce, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Spread the surface of the roll with this mixture. Place the roll in a baking dish and bake at 180° C for 45-60 minutes, occasionally basting it with any sauce that has dripped into the dish.
Resting and presentation: Once cooked, let the roll rest for a few minutes before cutting it so that it keeps its shape and the juices are not lost. Serve in slices.
Salad Preparation (optional)
Chop and mix: Cut the cucumber and tomato into slices or cubes. Add the walnuts and chopped garlic cloves.
Dress: Mix the honey and olive oil and pour over the salad. Stir well to blend the flavors.
Additional Tips:
Moisture in the meat: If you want the meat mixture to be juicier, add some breadcrumbs soaked in milk before spreading it.
Flavor variation: You can add some slices of red bell pepper to the filling for a touch of color and flavor.
More intense flavor: Marinate the meat mixture for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before assembling the roll so that it absorbs the seasonings better.
This recipe, with its combination of ingredients and textures, promises to be a dish that everyone at the table will love. Enjoy!
