Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pineapple — Make sure to drain the pineapple chunks well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey to the teriyaki glaze.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on the beef rolls before searing.
• If you don't have teriyaki sauce, you can substitute it with a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, and a splash of pineapple juice.

Serving advice

Serve the Hawaiian-style Beef Rouladen hot, accompanied by steamed rice or roasted vegetables. Drizzle the cooking juices over the beef rolls for extra flavor.

Presentation advice

Arrange the beef rolls on a platter, garnished with fresh pineapple chunks and chopped cilantro for a vibrant and tropical presentation.
