Ingredients
Scale
Beef Roll Ups
- 1 1/2 pounds thin-sliced beef round steak or top round (about 8–10 slices, 1/4 inch thick)
Stuffing
- 1 (6-ounce) box seasoned stuffing mix (such as herb-flavored)
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth (from the 1 1/2 cups total)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the dish)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth (remaining portion of the 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with a little butter to prevent the roll ups from sticking during baking.
- Prepare the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the dry seasoned stuffing mix with 1 cup of beef broth and the melted butter. Stir until the liquid is absorbed and the stuffing is just moistened—not soupy. Add a splash more broth only if it seems too dry. The stuffing should be soft enough to press together.
- Prepare the beef slices: Lay the beef slices out on a cutting board or clean work surface. If any slices are thick or uneven, gently pound them with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy pan (between pieces of plastic wrap) until they are about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking and easy rolling.
- Fill and roll beef: Divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the beef slices, placing a small mound near one short end of each piece, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent stuffing from spilling out. Starting at the stuffed end, roll each beef slice snugly around the stuffing, tucking the sides as you go. Secure each roll with 1 to 2 toothpicks inserted crosswise to hold them together during baking.
- Arrange in baking dish: Place the beef roll ups seam-side down in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Nestle them close together to keep stuffing moist and create a flavorful pool of pan juices during cooking.
- Prepare and add sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup beef broth with the condensed cream of mushroom soup until smooth. Pour this sauce evenly over the beef roll ups in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the stuffing is hot and tender. The sauce will thicken and bubble during baking, coating the roll ups with a creamy mushroom flavor.
- Serve: Carefully remove the toothpicks from each beef roll before serving. Spoon some of the mushroom sauce over the roll ups for extra flavor. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef round or top round for best results. If unavailable, sirloin cuts can work but may be less tender.
- Maintaining the 1/4 inch thickness ensures even cooking and easy rolling without tearing the beef.
- To make cleanup easier, you can line the baking dish with foil and grease it before adding the roll ups.
- This recipe can be made a day ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
- Remove toothpicks carefully before serving to avoid injury.
- For a lower sodium version, use low-sodium broth and soup varieties.
