Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- 8 slices bacon
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Fat:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Spread each delicate beef slice flat on your cutting board, creating an even surface for seasoning.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper across each slice’s surface.
- Carefully lay one full slice of bacon diagonally across each seasoned beef slice, ensuring complete coverage.
- Roll the beef slice tightly around the bacon, tucking edges inward to prevent unraveling during cooking.
- Pierce each roll with 2-3 toothpicks to maintain compact shape and prevent loosening.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F (190°C).
- Gently place roll-ups seam-side down into hot skillet, allowing 2-3 inches between each roll.
- Sear rolls for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until bacon turns crisp and beef develops golden-brown exterior.
- Check internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare beef after approximately 8-10 minutes total cooking time.
- Remove skillet from heat and transfer rolls to clean cutting board.
- Allow rolls to rest 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and slicing into bite-sized portions.
Notes
- Choose thin beef slices like flank or sirloin to ensure easy rolling and quick cooking.
- Trim excess fat from bacon to prevent overly greasy roll-ups and help them sear more evenly.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends like chili powder, smoked paprika, or herbs to customize the flavor profile.
- For a low-carb option, serve these roll-ups over cauliflower rice or with a simple green salad instead of starchy sides.
