Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds of very lean ground beef
8 thin slices of boiled ham
3/4 cup of italian bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten well
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 package onion soup mix
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups grated swiss cheese
3 slices swiss cheese
1/2 cup red pepper, chopped fine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
optional: sliced mushrooms

Steps:

  • 1. Saute the red pepper half done, add the spinach and stir for one minute and remove and set aside.
  • 2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, eggs, tomato juice, parsley, oregano, pepper, garlic and onion soup mix. Add the ground beef, mix well.
  • 3. Take a sheet of wax paper large enough to shape the meat into a 12 by 10 inch rectangle. (I measure it with a ruler)
  • 4. Add the slices of boiled ham on top of the meat, leaving a small gap around the edges for sealing.
  • 5. Add the swiss cheese, spinach and red pepper mixture to the ham. Spread it evenly.
  • 6. Using the wax paper, roll the meat from the narrow side, (the wax paper makes a perfect roll) and seal the edges and the ends of the meat roll and discard the wax paper as you form the roll. Then place the roll SEAM SIDE DOWN in a greased 9x13 baking dish. It will just fit if you have measured it.
  • 7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour or until done. (The center of the roll will be pink due to the ham) Remove from oven, and cut the slices of swiss cheese at an angle, like my photo, and place them overlapping on top of the meat roll. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. The best cuts for a Sicilian meat roll are flank steak, skirt steak, or top sirloin. These cuts are all relatively thin and easy to roll, and they have a good amount of flavor.
  • Pound the beef thinly. This will help it to cook evenly and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Traditional fillings for a Sicilian meat roll include bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, and parsley. However, you can also use other fillings, such as cooked vegetables, rice, or nuts.
  • Roll the meat tightly. This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent it from falling out.
  • Sear the meat roll in a hot skillet. This will help to brown the outside of the meat and keep the juices inside.
  • Finish cooking the meat roll in the oven. This will help to cook it through and ensure that it is tender.
  • Serve the meat roll with your favorite sauce. Traditional sauces for a Sicilian meat roll include tomato sauce, mushroom sauce, or béchamel sauce.

Conclusion:

Sicilian meat roll is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it is also a good way to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a Sicilian meat roll that everyone will enjoy.
