Ingredients
2–3 lbs beef roast (butterflied or rolled cut)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
½ cup grated cheese (mozzarella or parmesan)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
Kitchen twine (for tying)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lay the beef flat and season it with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Spread garlic, spinach, and cheese evenly over the surface.
Carefully roll the beef into a tight log and secure it with kitchen twine.
Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
Transfer the roast to a baking dish and brush with Dijon mustard.
Roast in the oven for 60–90 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
Let the meat rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
How to Make:
Start by choosing a tender cut of beef that can be easily rolled.
Prepare the filling with fresh, flavorful ingredients.
Flatten the meat evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Roll tightly to keep the stuffing inside while roasting.
Sear the meat first to lock in juices and enhance flavor.
Finish cooking in the oven until perfectly tender.
Variations:
Add mushrooms or caramelized onions to the stuffing.
Use feta or goat cheese for a tangy flavor.
Include sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist.
Swap spinach with kale or herbs like parsley.
Glaze with honey mustard or balsamic for extra richness.
Tips:
Let the beef come to room temperature before cooking.
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (medium: ~63°C / 145°F).
Do not skip searing—it adds deep flavor.
Resting the meat keeps it juicy when sliced.
Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
