- 75 g (2.6 oz) plain feta cheese, crumbled
- 8 pieces sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp (30 g) fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 3 tbsp (45 g) olive tapenade with green olives
- 1 cup (250 ml / 8.5 fl oz) water

1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F)
2. Pat the beef strips dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper in a large bowl
3. In another bowl, combine the garlic feta, plain feta, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and olive tapenade until well mixed
4. Lay a beef strip flat on a clean surface and place about 15 g of the feta mixture along the center
5. Fold the beef over the filling, pressing the edges to seal tightly; repeat with all strips
6. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt 15 g butter over medium heat
7. Add the beef rolls seam-side down and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown
8. Flip each roll and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired doneness
10. While the rolls bake, whisk together the beef broth, cornstarch, crème fraîche, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth
11. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the beef rolls to a serving platter
12. Place the skillet back on the stove over low heat and pour in the sauce mixture
13. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens
14. Spoon the warm sauce evenly over the beef rolls
15. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with extra chopped basil
16. Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or roasted vegetables
