BRAISED BEEF ROLLS

Braised Beef Rolls image

THIS recipe originally called for short ribs, but to create a lower-fat version, I substituted flank steak or London broil cuts. This is a great company dish because it can be fixed ahead. Everyone enjoys the old-fashioned sweet-sour flavor. -Mary Kay Ankney, Springfield, Oregon
