Balsamic Steak Rolls Recipe (2024)

Quick, colorful, and all wrapped up for your convenience, these juicy steak rolls are packed with vegetables and finished off with a tangy-sweet balsamic glaze. Adding basil and oregano without a pile of tomatoes gives them a very fresh Italian flavor.

Pile a few of them on your plate for dinner, or pull out a big platter for party food or an appetizer. They’re a great size for kids, and having a bunch of smaller rolls makes it easy to accommodate everyone’s appetite.

If you have any leftovers, these are also good cold: it’s almost like a steak sandwich if you skipped the bread and went straight to the good stuff inside.

Pull one out of the fridge for a quick snack, or throw a few into your lunchbox to keep you well-fed and going strong through the afternoon.

For side dishes, what about some roasted cauliflower and a hot bowl of tomato soup, or maybe just your favorite fresh salad drizzled with olive oil and a little more balsamic?

Or if you’re serving them as appetizers, just stick a fancy toothpick in each roll and call it done: there’s no need to spend a lot of time fussing with the presentation when you could be sitting back to enjoy the delicious meal waiting for your fork.
