Beef Bacon Roll Ups with marinara sauce recipe, thin beef steak roll ups with bacon and herbs, slow cooked into a marinara sauce, flavorful, comforting and delicious!
This is a meal from my childhood that I have always loved. To this day, whenever we visit my parents, my mother will wait for us with a tall order of beef bacon roll ups. She generally serves them with sautéed potatoes and on the following day she will cook pasta with the leftover marinara sauce all flavored with the beef roll ups aromas, Mmmmm!
Our beef roll ups are made from thin slices of flank steak or top round steak, we brush them with mustard, top with a thin slice of bacon, a little bit of garlic and parsley, roll them up and simmer into marinara sauce for an hour.
We generously count about 3 or 4 pieces per person, seems that there is never enough anyway… If you have leftover roll ups, you can freeze them.
You can serve these beef roll ups with potato puree, sautéed potatoes and green beans (I love green beans with marinara sauce) or your favorite pasta.
