Beef-cheese rollup



Recommended Posts

This is so simple I'm almost embarrassed to post it, but it was a big help to me during my low carb preop diet. I plan to try it again soon now that I can tolerate more foods in my postop diet.

All you need is the boxed "Steak Um" frozen beef slices (in the frozen meats sections) and some string cheese. I used the pepperjack cheese. You can use any cut of cheese but the string slices seemed to just fit right in.

Fry one serving of the steak um patty in a pan. They cook really fast so stand there with it while it cooks. You can season the meat as it cooks. I used Lawry's seasoned salt and pepper. Turn it over when it browns on one side. When the second side is done browning, remove the pan from the heat and take the cheese slice and place it toward the end of the steak um patty. (Steak Ums are rectangular shaped.) Then, roll the steak um around the cheese until it looks like a little wrap. The heat from the meat will melt the cheese and make it nice and gooey. You can bite right into it. Yummy!

Some people may prefer to pat some of the grease off the meat before rolling your cheese into it. Also, if the cheese was real cold, I would lay it in the pan for a quick minute before rolling it into the meat just to get the melting process started.

Hope someone is able to enjoy this.

Mary, thanks for this recipe!

I actually had some Steak Ums on Thursday so this is very timely for me. I was surprised at the amount of protien in a serving and the box will certainly go a long way for us. My husband cooked me 2 slices and that was way two much so 1 slice is the perfect portion not to mention how quick and easy they are to cook. Looking forward to trying your suggestion.

Mary,

I did a "test" run of these so it would go well for the party tonight. I sauteed some onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. Then I put one of the steaks in the skilled and cooked it like you said. When the meat was done, I put a slice of white american cheese on it, a little bit of the vegatable mixture, rolled it up and ate it. OMG it was so good. Tasted like a philly cheesesteak sandwich without the bun. YUMMO!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Hmmm...I need to try this with the sauteed veggies. That sounds great. And some Heinz 57 on the side sounds good too.

Thanks for mentioning this. I forget items that are easily portion controlled and tend to get stuck in a rut eating the same things over and over. This is a good idea and I can think of a few ways to use Steak Ums...

I am definately going to try this. Would it be terrible to roll it in low fat tortilla though? I have to have some kind of carbs just not that much.

I'm going to add those to my list. I have two kids who I'm always looking for something other than chicken nuggets to feed. Thanks for the suggestions!

BTW let me say I have never heard of this item, perhaps it's a regional thing but don't feel bad posting something so "simple" as it has given some of us new options to continue on our way! :tongue_smilie:

Oh, my goodness! That sounds so yummy and easy. Been fretting trying to find different "concoctions" to eat at 3 mos out so both versions (string cheese and sliced w/veggies) sounds great! Anybody done the slice turkey or ham with low-fat cream chesse spread? I saw that somewhere and wondered about it.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
