Spicy Beef Roulades

These were inspired by some roulades we had from Marks and Spencer in the 2 dine for a tenner (which were delish but i thought i could improve them)

Ingredients:

• 2 thin pieces of your favourite cut of steak (minute/friying/sirloin all work well)
• two heaped tablespoons of marscapone
• big bunch of spinach
• 2 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tin of chopped plum tomatoes (drained)
• 2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
• salt and pepper
• small red onion
• olive oil
• handfull of grated cheddar cheese ,parmesan or mozerella

Method

1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees C
2. Blanch the spinach in boiling water then plunge into cold water so that it keeps it’s colour.
3. Place the onion and garlic in a blender and whizz until finely chopped, add the drained tomatoes and a little olive oil to thin out, then add your sweet chilli sauce (you can add more if you wish).
4. Tip the sauce mix into a sauce pan and simmer for 10-15mins until nice and thick. Season to taste. Remove from the heat.
5. Cover the steaks in cling film and bash out really thin using a mallet or rolling pin
6. Drain the spinach and remove moisture using a tea towel or by gently squeezing the spinach.
7. Mix the marscapone and spinach in a bowl and season to taste.
8. Season your flattened steaks with salt and pepper then slice each steak into half.
9. Divide the spinach and marscapone mix between the 4 slices of steak and carefully roll up into 4 little parcels.
10. Place on a baking tray and cover with the tomato sauce.
11. Top with the grated cheese
12. Bake in the oven for 20-25mins until steak is cooked and the cheese is golden.
