Balsamic Glazed Steak "Sushi"

Balsamic Glazed Steak "Sushi"
Recipe adapted from Picture the Recipe

Before you start, get out your steak and choose whether or not you want to tenderize it.  If you are using a sirloin, you won't have to do that.  Choose a steak with out a lot of fat since you will want to trim that off.
Season your steak, generously, on both sides with salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce.

While you let that marinate for about 30 mintues (or longer) go ahead and prepare the "stuffing".

 

Slice up your veggies into strips lengthwise, this will work best for putting it into the middle of your "Sushi" Steak.

I used carrots, zucchini, green beans and green onion.  The stiffer the veggie, the better it will hold and look in your roll up.  The green onions went totally limp, I would still add them but possibly add one more veggie like yellow squash!  Some people would probably love to add different peppers, but I am not one of those people :)

Put about 2 tablespoon of butter into a pan add 1/4 c balsamic vinegar, 1/4 c beef broth, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.  (I know sugar is not really paleo friendly, but its such a small amount that makes the world of difference in this sauce!  YOU WANT TO ADD IT!!)  Let that all come to a boil and reduce to about half the amount.  Turn down the heat and transfer into a bowl for later.

In the same pan put 2 cloves of garlic (just slightly crushed) into about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let the garlic flavor the olive oil for a few minutes.  Then turn the heat up to high and saute your veggies in the garlic olive oil for no more than 2-3 minutes and add 1 tsp of Italian seasonings and a pinch of salt.  Transfer that into a separate bowl.

 Now take your steak and lay them out, taking bunches out of your bowl, making sure to get a little bit of everything, fill the steaks and then take toothpicks and seal it all up.

 With olive oil coating the bottom of the same pan you have been using (if your like me, you HATE dishes) place your Steak "Sushi" into the pan seam side down, let them cook for a few minutes and then continue to flip on all side for a few minutes at a time until you get your desired done-ness. 

 Pour the yummy balsamic glaze over the rolls and your done. 

This has got to be one of the most delicious things I have made in a very long time.  My hubby and I were in foodie heaven.

Enjoy!!
