Before cooking

  • The publisher lists 648 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.
  • Source method lists cayenne, oregano, pepper and additional garlic without ingredient quantities, and contradicts stock quantity. This adaptation uses only listed measured spices and ¼ cup stock; missing unquantified extras are not invented.
  • Source ingredient list says steak sliced lengthwise; keep strips wide enough to roll and secure, then cut rolls across the grain.
  • Safety adaptation: stuffed beef roll centers must reach 165°F; the 145°F intact-steak endpoint does not apply. Follow the linked USDA FSIS guidance for stuffed meat. Continue beyond source sear time if needed.
  • Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
  • Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
  • The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.
  • Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
