This recipe is easy and taste great.
Ingredients: Beef Round Steak, Ham, Swiss Cheese, Bacon, Butter
Seasoning: Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder
We used round steak. One could also use a roast or london broil.
The key to making it tender is to pulverize it with a tenderizing hammer until it is so thin that it easily tears. Also, wrapping it in bacon helps retain the juices.
This picture shows how we prepare the beef. We pouded the meat using the tenderizing hammer (both sides). Our hammer has a coarse side and a finer side. Tenderize first with the coarse side and then with the fine side. Again, beat it until it's so thin you can barely handle it without tearing it. One steak will typically make three servings.

This picture shows one of the three steaks we got out of the one round steak.
Season with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Place two cut slices of swiss cheese, two cut slices of ham and three large pats of butter on the meat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roll the meat up with the ingredients inside and season the outside with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Place the bacon strips under it and wrap. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We use a small aluminum pan to cook in as the butter will drip and make a mess if you don't.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you cook these on the grill, use medium fire for 30 minutes. If you cook them in the oven, cook at 300 degrees for 25 minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it is done, there will be plenty of melted butter in the bottom of the pan. No worries, we're not eating it out of the pan. (grin) Remove the toothpicks and serve. You can eat the bacon or not, it's up to the diner.
There are several variations of this that you can play with. We sometimes add sliced roasted green chile peppers with a small dash of camino on the inside for a tex-mex flavor.
Hope those of you that try it, like it...
Cheers!
