Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — Choose thin slices of beef that are easy to roll and cook quickly. Tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak work well.
- Sun-dried tomatoes — Make sure to drain the sun-dried tomatoes well before using them in the filling to avoid excess moisture.
- Mozzarella balls — Opt for small mozzarella balls that will melt easily and evenly inside the rolls.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a more tender beef, you can marinate the slices in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before rolling.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Serve the Rovelline Lucchesi with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious tomato sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the Rovelline Lucchesi hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of freshness. Accompany them with a side of mixed greens or a simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Rovelline Lucchesi on a platter, drizzle the tomato sauce over them, and sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil for an elegant presentation.
