Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 150 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 100 grams low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 egg white
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the finely diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg white, breadcrumbs, low-sodium soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay a large piece of baking paper or aluminum foil on a flat surface and spread the beef mixture on top, forming a rectangular shape approximately 1 cm thick.
Evenly distribute the spinach and onion mixture over the beef rectangle, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the spinach.
Using the baking paper or foil to help, gently roll up the beef rectangle, starting from one of the shorter sides and rolling towards the other side, forming a tight spiral.
Seal the ends of the roll and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Allow the beef roll to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into portions for serving.
Serve the slices warm, with a side of your choice of salad or steamed vegetables.
