Chef John's Beef Rouladen
For something that looks and tastes as impressive as this beef rouladen, it's actually one of the simplest stuffed meat recipes I know. You can pretty much use any cheap cut of beef; I used round steak, but rump, chuck, flap meat, and other similar cuts will work work.
Herb-Marinated Tenderloin
Tenderloin (sometimes called filet mignon) is the king of steaks. It's lean, tender, you can add any desired flavor to it and it will absorb it all, and you can cut it with a butter knife. This is expensive, though, so only cook this once in a while.
Orange Soya Sauce Marinated Chicken
Quick and delicious, this marinade can be prepared in the morning and forgotten about all day. It also works well with pork or beef, and can easily be doubled, tripled, or more. Add flare by cutting thin strips of orange rind and sprinkling on top right before serving.
