  • approx. ½ raisins
  • a teaspoon of grated parmesan
  • 1 can puréed tomato
  • extra virgin olive oil

  • ¾ cup of white wine
  • salt & pepper

Directions

Roll or pound the steak until thin.

Finely chop the parsley and garlic, pine-nuts and raisins, and mix with the grated parmesan, salt and pepper.

Spread on the steak, then roll the steak and fix in place with some toothpicks or butcher’s string.

Brown the rolled meat in a saucepan with extra-virgin olive oil and a chopped onion. Then add white wine and after 5 minutes the tomato puré. Cook over a very low heat for about an hour.
