Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Beef cutlets Pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 4 slices Beef pastrami Or smoked deli beef
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese Cut in half
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme Finely chopped
  • 1 whole Lemon Cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay the beef cutlets flat on a clean cutting board. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  • Place one slice of beef pastrami and one slice of Swiss cheese in the center of each beef cutlet.
  • Roll each cutlet tightly to enclose the filling, tucking in the ends. Secure each roll with a toothpick.
  • Set up a breading station using three shallow bowls: place the flour in the first, the beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and thyme in the third.
  • Dredge each beef roll lightly in the flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the breaded beef rolls onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist them with cooking spray to help the crust crisp.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, extract the toothpicks, and let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
