  3. Spread filling onto each beef slice, leaving edges clear, then roll tightly and secure with twine or toothpicks.
  4. Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the rolls on all sides until browned.
  5. Remove rolls and sauté onion in the same pan until soft.
  6. Add tomato sauce and oregano, stirring well.

Notes

  • Slow cooking ensures tender and flavorful meat.
  • Raisins add a subtle sweetness but can be omitted.
  • Can be prepared ahead and cooked later.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.
