Involtini di Manzo | Traditional Beef Dish From Rome, Italy | TasteAtlas

Involtini di manzo

Involtini di manzo is a traditional meat dish originating from Rome. These beef rolls are usually made with a combination of beef slices, prosciutto, carrots, garlic, celery, tomatoes, white wine, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The beef slices are seasoned with salt and topped with a slice of prosciutto, carrot sticks, and celery sticks.


The meat is rolled up and secured with toothpicks before the rolls are browned in olive oil and removed from the pan. The garlic is cooked in the same pan with the tomatoes and wine. Once the alcohol evaporates and the sauce begins to simmer, the rolls are placed back into the pan and cooked for more than an hour.


Once everything is cooked, the beef rolls and sauce are served warm, often with pasta such as spaghetti. It's believed that the dish tastes even better when reheated the next day.
