Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beef sirloin — Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Provolone cheese — If you prefer a different type of cheese, feel free to substitute it with your favorite melting cheese such as mozzarella or cheddar.

Tips & Tricks

  • To add an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef slices in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before assembling the Guardanapos.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Serve the Guardanapos with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious chimichurri sauce.

Serving advice

Serve the Guardanapos hot, allowing the flavors to meld together. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the beef rolls or serve it on the side for dipping.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Guardanapos on a platter, garnishing with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro. The vibrant colors of the bell peppers and the chimichurri sauce will make the dish visually appealing.
