Steak Involitni - YUMMY!

Back to my trusty favorite... Giada de Laurentiis

I tried Steak Involtini for the first time. It was delicious and suprising easy to do with Giada's great directions.

Ingredients

Breading:

1 cup plain bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Filling:

3/4 cup grated Parmesan

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup olive oil, plus 1/4 cup

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

2 cloves garlic, minced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 (8-ounce) London broil steaks, trimmed and pounded 1/8-inch thick

1 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce

Special equipment: 4 (4-inch) skewers

Directions

For the breading: In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

For the filling: In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of Parmesan, mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, basil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cut the steaks in half crosswise and place on a work surface. Spread the mixture evenly over the steaks. Roll up the steaks and secure with skewers.

In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over medium heat. Roll the steaks in the bread crumb mixture until coated and add to the skillet. Cook the steaks until brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the marinara sauce to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer, turning occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes for medium-well.

Remove the skewers, place the steaks on a cutting board and slice thinly. Arrange the steak slices on plates and serve with the marinara sauce.

The Hubby was super impressed (I do have to say, so was I!)

Even the twins liked it. Here are some pictures...

Happy Cooking!
