have your butcher do it for you)

Sprinkle the center of each slice with a mixture of the bread crumbs, 1/2
cup of the grated cheese, and the parsley and garlic. Sprinkle with the
salt & pepper, and roll each slice like a jelly roll. Tie the rolls
securely with string and brown them in the olive oil, preferably in a Dutch

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and half of the water to the beef rolls.

additional water as the sauce boils down. Season with salt & pepper to
taste, and serve with cooked pasta and additional grated Parmesan chesse.
