Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef Eye of Round Roast
- 1/4 cup dried currant or golden raisins; water for soaking
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided in half
- 1 onion minced, medium
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups breadcrumbs divided in half
- 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese divided in half, grated
- 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted
- 1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- sea salt freshly ground, to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 1 red onion peeled, quartered, and separated, large
- 6 bay leaf
- arugula for serving, salad
Instructions
- Make sure your beef roast is cold. Trim the eye of round roast of the fat cap. Slice into ¼ inch thick pieces. Using the dimpled side of a meat mallet, gently pound both sides of each “steak” to tenderize the meat and flatten it to about ⅛ inch thickness. Set the beef aside so it can come to room temperature.
- Place the currants in a bowl and soak them in very warm water to soften them.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the minced onions and garlic and cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional minute. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Drain the currants completely. In a bowl, combine the onion mixture with 1 cup of breadcrumbs, cheese, currants, pine nuts, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a big spoonful of the breadcrumb mixture on one end of each piece of beef. Roll the meat around the filling to form rollatini that can be skewered.
- Take 2 shallow bowls or dinner plates and place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in one bowl and the remaining breadcrumbs in the other. Meanwhile, heat a grill pan to medium-high heat and preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Coat each rolled beef rollatini with olive oil and then roll them in the breadcrumbs. Skewer a roll, red onion slices, and a bay leaf. Repeat until you fill a skewer. Depending on the size of your skewers, you will fit 3 or 4 rolls on each.
- Oli your grill pan.
- Grill the spedini until the meat is browned on all sides, turning once. Remove the spedini to a sheet pan and place it in the oven for 6 minutes while you assemble a salad for serving.
- A simple salad is arugula, shaved parmesan cheese, olives, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salad on a large platter. Using a fork, slide the beef and onions off of the skewers onto the platter right over the salad. Discard the bay leaves. Serve while warm.
