Directions
-
Season the top round steak with salt and freshly ground pepper.
-
Cut the meat into 8 slices, approximately 6x3 inches each.
-
Place each slice between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound to 1/8 inch thickness using a meat mallet, the flat of a cleaver, or the bottom of a heavy pot.
-
Trim the pounded meat to ensure uniform size.
-
Place 2 anchovy fillets on each meat slice.
-
Roll the meat slices up tightly from the short end to enclose the anchovies.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sear the beef rolls on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove rolls from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onions in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil for 5 to 8 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the flour to coat the onions.
-
Return the skillet to medium heat and cook the flour mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.
-
Gradually whisk in the water to create a smooth sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
-
Return the beef rolls to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
-
Cover and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Serve the beef rolls hot, spooning the onion sauce over the top.
