Ingredients and Substitutions
STEAK: London broil or top-round steak are economical choices. Flank steak also works.
The steak should be about 1/2 inch thick. Pound with a mallet for tenderness unless already tenderized.
GROUND SAUSAGE: Options include breakfast sausage (hot or mild) or Italian sausage.
BREAD CRUMBS: Use soft or dried, seasoned or plain bread crumbs.
ONIONS: White or yellow onions work well. Frozen, chopped onions are convenient.
PEPPERS: Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are somewhat sweet. Green peppers have a bitter edge. Use a mix for color and flavor.
KITCHEN BOUQUET: Substitute with Worcestershire sauce.
CORNSTARCH: Flour can replace cornstarch for gravy, but you might need to use a bit more flour.

FAQ About Stuffed London Broil
Are London Broil and round steak the same thing?
Not exactly, but they are often interchangeable. Round steak is usually more tender. All are good choices in this recipe due to the long cooking time.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Yes. Cook the stuffed steak and let it cool. Freeze with or without the gravy. Double-wrap and freeze up to 4 months.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes. Bake the steak rolls a day ahead. Cool and chill. Make gravy just before serving.
I don’t have a slow cooker. Can I bake these in the oven?
Yes. Bake in a 300˚F oven for 2-3 hours.
What can I substitute for the sausage if we don’t eat pork?
Use turkey or chicken sausage, or omit the sausage and use only bread crumbs and veggies.

Instructions
Lay 2 1/2 lbs.(1134g) London broil or tenderized round steak out on the counter. Cut into pieces about 4-5 inches wide and 7-10 inches long. This is very approximate.
Layer 1 pound(454g) hot or mild ground sausage on top of the steak, using your hands to spread evenly to the edges.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup(54g) bread crumbs, then 1/2-3/4 cup(80g) chopped onions, 1(119g) chopped red or green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. End with a light shower of salt and pepper.
Starting from the narrow end, roll up steak and secure with toothpicks. (Count the toothpicks so you will know how many you need to pull out after the steak is cooked.)
Brown rolls in a large skillet, if desired, but this step is not absolutely necessary. Place in a slow cooker (I always use a crockpot liner) or a large dutch oven or covered skillet.
Combine 2 cups(473g) water, 2 beef bouillon cubes or 2 teaspoons bouillon concentrate, and 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet or Dale’s Steak Sauce. Pour over meat. Add1 bay leaf to the broth.
Cover and place into the oven at 325˚F for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or cook in a crockpot for 7-8 hours. When tender, remove meat from oven or crockpot and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Remove toothpicks and slice. Set aside while you make gravy.
Gravy
Whisk 1 cup(227g) cold water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch together. Add to juice from pot the meat was cooked in. Whisk well and cook until thickened. If there is not enough meat juice and gravy is too thick, you may have to add more water or beef broth to get a gravy-like consistency.
Serve over steak rolls.
Notes
1. Alternate method for the gravy: Use a brown gravy mix from the store if you are not confident about your gravy-making skills. Use the juice from the cooked meat instead of water as called for on the package.2. If the round steak has not been tenderized or is slightly thicker than a half-inch, pound it with a meat tenderizer mallet.
