Involtini of Beef

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup frozen peas
1-ounce thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Heat 1
tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the carrot, onion, and garlic and saute until the carrots are tender, about 10
minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in the
Parmesan. Season beef with salt and pepper. Using 2 tablespoons for each, divide the
carrot mixture among the beef slices. Roll up the beef slices to enclose the filling,
tucking in the ends. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.

Heat the remaining oil and the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same large frying pan
over medium-high heat. Dredge the beef rolls in flour to coat lightly. Add the beef rolls
and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any
browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the bay
leaf. Cover and simmer until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the
beef rolls to a platter. Remove the toothpicks, then cover the beef rolls with foil to
