- 100 ml (3.4 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 tablespoon sugar

- Olive oil, parsley, black pepper, and salt to taste

Preparing the steaks
- Lay a steak on a cutting board and place the sausage, carrot, sliced bell peppers, and onion half-moons on top.
- Roll the steak tightly and secure with toothpicks to prevent the filling from falling out.
Searing the meat:
- In a pan, heat some olive oil and sear the rolled steaks on all sides over medium heat until golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and bell pepper, sautéing until lightly golden.
Making the sauce:
- Stir in the diced tomato and cook until it breaks down.
- Add the tomato sauce, parsley, beef bouillon, sugar, and water.
Cooking:
- Cover the pan and simmer for about 35 minutes on medium heat, flipping the steaks halfway through to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
Finishing touches:
- Adjust salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve hot with white rice and mashed potatoes for a hearty meal!
Extra Tips:
✔ For an extra special touch, add a splash of red wine to the sauce while cooking. ✔ If desired, replace the smoked sausage with bacon strips for a more intense flavor. ✔ To thicken the sauce, dissolve a teaspoon of cornstarch in a little water and stir it in at the end of cooking.
