Ingredients
- 2 lb Beef flank
- 2 Carrots
- 3 Pickles
- 2 Hot dogs
- 3 Hard-boiled eggs
- 1/3 cup Cheddar
- 2 cups Tomato sauce
- 1 Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
Steps
- Butterfly the flank into a large, even rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season with salt and pepper; lay the carrot sticks, pickle spears, hot dogs, halved eggs, and cheese strips in rows across the meat.
- Roll into a tight cylinder and tie with kitchen twine every 2 inches — a loose roll unravels in the braise.
- Sear the roll on all sides, 8 minutes, until browned.
- Add the onion, garlic, tomato sauce, and 2 cups water; braise covered 90 minutes, turning once.
- Rest 15 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pinwheels; the cross-section should show the colorful spiral. Spoon the reduced braising sauce over each slice.
