Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Pounds Top Sirloin, Cut Into 12 Small Thin Slices
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
- 6 Thin Slices Of Prosciutto, Cut In Half
- 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/3 Cup Olive Oil

- 1 Celery Stalk, Finely Chopped

Instructions
- Pound each piece of the beef into thin slices and spread a little bit of the minced garlic, chopped rosemary and grated cheese over each slice.
- Cover this with a slice of prosciutto, and roll up into a small bundle, securing each with toothpicks.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown all of the bundles well on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer to a separate dish, and add the onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add the wine, and cook up until it is reduced by half, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook over medium low heat, until the sauce has begun to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the toothpicks from the bundles, and return them to the skillet.
- Simmer on very low heat for 20 minutes.
- Add the fresh parsley, and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve hot with a side dish of your choice.
Deborah, you inspired me.
I made a Kosher version with just a few changes. I used for the beef; flank steak cut thin, then pounded, for the Prosciutto; turkey pastrami, and for the parmesan; fresh egg bread breadcrumbs, substituting these for the ingredients that are not Kosher, or can not be cooked together. It was delicious! Thanks 🙂
