Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 lbs (500g) beef tenderloin, sliced into 1.5 cm thick strips
  • 5 slices cold-smoked bacon
  • 5.3 oz (150g) cheese (cheddar or your favorite melting cheese), thinly sliced
  • 1.8 oz (50g) butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika powder (or hot pepper powder for extra spice)
  • 1 pinch oil (for brushing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Strips

Cut the beef tenderloin into thin strips, approximately 1.5 cm thick. Lay them flat on a clean surface.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Herb Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Sprinkle each beef strip with paprika powder. Spread a generous layer of the garlic herb butter mixture over the top. Place a slice of bacon and a slice of cheese on each strip. Roll the strips tightly and secure them with culinary thread or wooden skewers.

Step 4: Season and Grill

Brush each roll lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to 190°C (375°F). Grill the rolls for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the rolls from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve with a side of zesty green sauce (recipe below) or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Beef Tenderloin: Substitute with flank steak or sirloin for a budget-friendly option.
  • Cheese: Use mozzarella, gouda, or any melting cheese you prefer.
  • Bacon: Turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon can be used as alternatives.

Storage & Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.

Pro Tips

  • Don’t overstuff the rolls: Too much filling can make them difficult to roll and secure.
  • Use high heat: Grilling at 190°C ensures a nice sear and juicy interior.
  • Rest before serving: Letting the rolls rest allows the juices to redistribute, keeping them moist.

Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting

  • Rolls falling apart: Secure them tightly with skewers or culinary thread.
  • Dry beef: Avoid overcooking; grill for just 3 minutes per side.
  • Bacon not crispy: Use thin slices of bacon or pre-cook slightly before rolling.

Variations & Dietary Adaptations

  • Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or hot pepper powder to the garlic herb butter.
  • Cheesy Twist: Add a second layer of cheese for extra gooeyness.
  • Keto-Friendly: Use full-fat cheese and butter, and skip any sugary sauces.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a fresh garden salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread.
  • Pair with zesty green sauce, chimichurri, or a creamy horseradish sauce.
  • Enjoy with a glass of red wine or a cold beer for a complete meal.
