I have had a lot of chicken meals this  month, I thought of spicing things up by doing something extraordinary with the beef that was in the freezer. The results? Perfection.

Truth be told I had a hard time deciding what to do with the steak. Oh wrong sentence babe! It took me hours to finally know what to do with the steak but with the help of google I finally figured out what to make. Uhm yes I also google recipes when I don't know what to prepare 🙂 it's crazy but it's true. But anyway here we are.

The problem is not having a fancy recipe the problem is having a lot of delicious fancy recipes that at the end of the day you fail to choose which one you'll go for.Steak Roll Ups couldn't get any fancy. This is melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

How to thicken Mushroom Sauce

If you are not comfortable with the idea of thickening Mushroom Sauce using flour then use water and cornstarch. 

Using a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of water and cornstarch then add it to the Sauce as it cooks. This will thicken the Mushroom Sauce.

TIP:

Allowing the sauce to simmer for a few minutes on the stove while stirring occasionally will allow the sauce to reduce down hence thickening.
