Treat your ingredients with care...
- Mushrooms — Make sure to finely chop the mushrooms to ensure a consistent filling texture.
- Beef sirloin — Choose thinly sliced beef sirloin for easier rolling and quicker cooking time.
- Red wine — Use a dry red wine, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
Tips & Tricks
- To save time, you can prepare the mushroom filling in advance and refrigerate it until ready to use.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the simmering sauce to thicken it.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce mixture.

Presentation advice
Arrange the Beef Zrazy rolls neatly on a serving platter, spooning the sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or buckwheat and steamed vegetables for a visually appealing presentation.
