Goan Beef Roulade

Beef steak stuffed rolls – I am calling this Goan Beef Roulade because this is the spicy version of Beef Olives with typical Goan flavors as it includes Chorizo (Goan sausages) in the stuffing. The Beef Olives I have made earlier are a milder version leaning more towards continental cuisine. Try them, both are delicious in their own right!!

Ingredients

• 1 kg. Beef steaks, beaten
• 2 medium chopped onions
• 2 tbsp. tomato paste
• 2 to 4 tbsp. oil or ghee
• Stuffing : Potato, Carrots, Choris (Goan sausages), Bacon, as required

Grind to a smooth paste

• 10 red chillies
• 1 ½ “ pc. Ginger
• 10 cloves garlic
• 10 cloves
• 1” cinnamon
• 1 tsp. cumin seeds
• ½ tsp. peppercorns
• ½ tsp. turmeric
• 4 tbsp. vinegar
• 1 tsp. salt

Method:

P.S.: Ask the butcher to beat and flatten the steaks well. If not you will need to use a mallet or heavy pestle to beat the steaks to thin them so forming the rolls is easier. 

1. Wash, drain and marinate the steaks in the ground masala paste for one hour.
2. Prepare the stuffing. 
3. Peel, wash and cut one potato in 2” sticks. 
4. Wash carrot, peel and cut into 2” sticks. 
5. Remove the Goan sausages from the casings. 
6. Cut the bacon into 2” strips.  As bacon is not available here I have skipped it.  
7. Spread the steaks on a board and trim off any excess meat and you need a rectangle piece. 
8. Reserve the extra meat trimmings 
9. Place the potato, carrot and sausages on one end of the steak and roll into a compact roll. 
10. Secure with string or toothpicks. Thus make all the rolls.

1. Heat a wide pan, add the oil/ghee and fry the chopped onions, w
2. When they soften and are translucent, add the tomato paste and saute 2 to 3 minutes. 
3. Place the rolls in a single layer (reserve the excess marinade) and fry 3 to 4 minutes on high till light brown. 
4. Turn over and cook 20 minutes till the gravy almost dries up. 
5. Stir well scraping the bottom of the pan to avoid burning the onions. 
6. Add the excess marinade and some water to rinse the bowl and add to the roulade gravy. 
7. Also add the leftover potatoes and carrots, if any, chopped finely.
8. Check and adjust seasoning. 
9. Cook till meat is tender and gravy is thick and oil surfaces. 
10. Any rolls that are large in size can be cut into pieces before serving. 
11. Remove the string before serving. 
12. Toothpicks may be left as it is as they can be easily removed.  Serve hot.
