Ingredients:

• 8 thin slices of flank or sirloin steak
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, thinly sliced
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and onion until just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat.
3. Place a small amount of the vegetable mixture on each steak slice. Roll up the steak tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
4. In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the steak rolls and cook on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
5. Remove the steak rolls from the skillet and set aside. Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the glaze has thickened, about 5 minutes.
6. Return the steak rolls to the skillet and coat them with the glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
7. Remove the toothpicks, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve the steak rolls drizzled with the remaining balsamic glaze.
