Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed, divided
• onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
• cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
• 2 pounds flank steak, pounded until thin
• 5 toothpicks, or as needed
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 tomato, chopped, or more as needed
• 1 pinch white sugar

Directions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped hard-boiled egg, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Drizzle in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches a sticky consistency.

Step 3: Spread the parsley mixture evenly in a thin layer on top of the pounded flank steak. Carefully roll the steak into a jelly-roll style, securing it closed with toothpicks to hold the filling in place.

Step 4: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet with the onion mixture. Heat over medium heat and then add the rolled-up steak. Turn the steak occasionally, cooking it until browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 5: Once the steak is browned, pour in the tomato sauce and chopped tomato. Sprinkle in a pinch of white sugar and stir to combine. Lower the heat and simmer the steak over very low heat for 1 to 1 hours, or until the steak is cooked through and the sauce has slightly reduced.
