Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

Italian Beef Rolls (Slow Cooker)

Posted on August 30, 2011July 22, 2016 by Lanie Fioretti

I picked up some really thinly sliced sirloin, and it was perfect for Italian Beef Rolls.  I learned to make this when I was growing up.  We got a large tenderized round steak, smeared the stuffing over it, rolled it up and tied it with butcher’s twine.  Then into the spaghetti sauce it went to cook…
