Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay out a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Spread the beef mixture evenly into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the cooked spinach mixture evenly over the beef layer, leaving a small border along the edges.
Sprinkle the Whole30 compliant cheese alternative over the spinach.
Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the beef up tightly, starting from one of the shorter ends of the rectangle, similar to a jelly roll.
Seal the edges of the beef roll by pinching them together, keeping as much filling inside as possible.
Transfer the beef roll to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the roll with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Allow the beef roll to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
