💡 Chef tips
- Ensure your beef is sliced against the grain to guarantee tenderness.
- You can prepare the rolls up to 4 hours in advance and keep them refrigerated until you are ready to sear them.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the beef rolls once cooked and whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water.
✅ How it should turn out
The beef rolls should be fork-tender with a golden-brown exterior, releasing a fragrant, savory aroma of garlic and herbs, and tasting deeply rich from the reduced beef broth sauce.
