Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the beef by pounding each slice to a uniform thickness of about ¼ inch.

  4. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and sear the beef rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Sauté onions and garlic in the same pot until soft, then add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and sugar.
