- Beef sirloin — Choose thinly sliced beef sirloin for easier rolling and quicker cooking.
- Mushrooms — Use a mix of different mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms for a more complex flavor.
- Onion — Finely chop the onion to ensure it cooks evenly with the mushrooms.
- Garlic — Mince the garlic finely to release its flavor into the mushroom filling.
- Vegetable oil — Use a neutral-flavored oil like canola or sunflower oil for searing the beef rolls.
Tips & Tricks
- To make the beef rolls more tender, you can marinate the beef slices in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before assembling.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the mushroom sauce and cook it for a few more minutes until it thickens.
- For a richer flavor, you can deglaze the skillet used for searing the beef rolls with red wine before adding it to the pot.
