INVOLTINI OF BEEF

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, and garlic and saute until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in the Parmesan. Season beef with salt and pepper. Using 2 tablespoons for each, divide the carrot mixture among the beef slices. Roll up the beef slices to enclose the filling, tucking in the ends. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.
• Heat the remaining oil and the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same large frying pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the beef rolls in flour to coat lightly. Add the beef rolls and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the bay leaf. Cover and simmer until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef rolls to a platter. Remove the toothpicks, then cover the beef rolls with foil to keep warm. Add the peas and prosciutto to the sauce in the skillet and stir until the peas are heated through and the sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the beef rolls and serve.

ROLLED BEEF WITH ARTICHOKE STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine veal, pork, prosciutto, cheeses, garlic, fennel, artichokes, herbs, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and mix well. Trim excess fat from flank steak and pound to approximately 1/8 - thickness.(This takes a few minutes, but it is important to the recipe. Use a kitchen mallet or a heavy flat weight such as a wine bottle.) Spread stuffing over meat, covering it completely. Lay egg quarters down center, lenghtwise, and roll meat around stuffing without overlapping. Tie with kitchen string at one-inch intervals to hold securely; if any stuffing escapes, carefully push back in.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved artichoke oil. Heat oil and add stuffed beef roll to hot oil and brown on all sides. Add wine, cover and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Turn beef roll over halfway through cooking. When cooked, transfer meat to a serving platter and remove the string. Slice and serve with the pan juices. The Falso Magro roll is also terrific served on buffets, at picnics or even cold the next day.
