To see all the other wonderful recipes.....

I know I'm Italian.....what am I doing making something with the word "Greek" in the title..

We are still watching what we eat but a few days a week I splurge and make something a bit fancy.....

With the price of meat skyrocketing I am always on the lookout for inexpensive cuts that I can turn into something special...

I used Top Round Steak thin sliced for this recipe and although not cheap at $4.79 a pound..

It was cut so thin that I was able to get 4 really large slices for a little over $4.00I layed out one piece at a time on a cutting board then topped it with this mixture.....

I sauteed a shallot that I diced fine.....I added some grape tomatoes that I cut in half....one package of frozen spinach thawed and drained well........ofcourse you can use fresh....a little garlic salt and fresh coarse ground pepper.....

I spread this over each piece of meat then put a thinly sliced piece of Asiago Cheese on top of the spinach.......I rolled up the beef and placed it seam side down in a roasting pan.....

I drizzled it with a little extra virgin olive oil....a little bit more kosher salt and pepper...... and baked it about 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven......

The Boss loves feta cheese after our last trip to Jersey....The son in law took us to a fabulous Greek restaurant in Manhattan and it was his first time trying feta......he loved it and has been eating it ever since.....

So I sprinkled some crumbled feta on top of the rolls after they came out of the oven.....

The little potatoes in the center of the plate...

I had made diced garlic/Parmesan potatoes the day before for breakfast...

Not one to waste a thing I re-heated it leaving it in the little ramekin that it was stored in....

it kept it's shape nicely....

and this was one delicious easy meal.....

and it looked good too!!
