Ingredients

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• 4 slices of ham
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1 tsp tomato paste
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Using a meat mallet, pound the schnitzels until they are thin and flat. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
4. Place a slice of ham on top of each schnitzel and top it with a spoonful of the filling mixture. Roll the schnitzel to form a tight roll and secure it with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
5. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef olives on all sides, about 5 minutes.
6. Transfer the beef olives to a baking dish and pour in the beef stock, red wine, tomato paste, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, and cover the dish with foil.
7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and tender.
8. Remove the beef olives from the gravy and set them aside.
9. To make the gravy, strain the liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy has thickened, about 10 minutes.
10. Serve the beef olives hot with the gravy drizzled over top.
