This is an easy recipe to cook, with only a few ingredients. However, like most Italian dishes, there is a heavy touch of garlic to give it that “continental” flavor.
Probably one of the most important items to attend to is careful selection of the meat. Do not skimp here. Buy the best quality you can, it will pay dividends and you will garner many compliments with this filling main course.

Cooking Method
Cut the beef into four 60 gm pieces and gently flatten them with a mallet or roller. Season with salt and pepper, place the ham and garlic on top and roll up.
Dust with flour and sauté in hot olive oil. The time taken for this step will determine whether you like meat “rare” or “medium”. Do not overcook this dish.
Remove from pan and cut in half and place on serving plate.
Top the dish with the mushrooms and gravy.
