Preparation
This recipe is delicious (and even leaner) with chicken or turkey cutlets instead of beef. You can also use another cheese, such as Swiss or sharp cheddar.
1) Pat meat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place cheese and onion-pepper mixture in center of beef pieces. Beginning with narrow end of meat, roll filling up tightly. Carefully flip meat seam side up and secure with toothpicks.
2) Place a medium skillet over medium-high; brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Place meat rolls, seam side down, in skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until beef browns and cheese melts, about 8 minutes (reduce heat if beef is browning too quickly). Transfer beef rolls to a plate.
3) Toss lettuce with vinegar and 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Remove toothpicks from beef rolls; serve with salad.
