Brandy not only imparts
flavour to the beef slices, but
also tenderises them.

Roll up beef slice with
moderate firmness. If too
loose, the roll will fall apart.
If too tight, the filling will
squeeze out on either side.

When threading beef rolls
onto skewers, be mindful to
thread through the outer
ends of the slices so as to
secure.
