Mozzarella Filled Steak Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 minute steaks, about 3oz each, thinly cut (or 6 small sirloin steaks, about 5oz each)
    salt and pepper
    2 ounces basil, leaves only
    10 ounces mozzarella cheese, torn
    1 tablespoon oil
    10 ounces roasted red peppers packed in oil, plus 1 tbsp of their oil
    2 ounces olives (black or green)
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Preparation
    Heat oven to 450\u00b0F
    Season steaks, place a few basil leaves on each and split the mozzarella between them.
    Bring the sides of the steaks together to make an open parcel, securing the edges with a toothpick. If making up to a day ahead, cover and chill.
    Heat a heavy-based roasting tin on a high heat, add the oil and brown the beef on all sides - this should take about 1 min in total and the meat will still be rare in the middle.
    Add the peppers, their oil and the olives to the tin, pour over the vinegar, then roast for 2-3 mins for medium rare, longer for well done.
    Cover with foil and leave to rest for up to 5 minutes Scatter over remaining basil before serving.
