Polish Beef Rolls

125. Our family Christmas dinner was with a Polish flair. My mother shared this recipe with me several years ago and it has become a family favorite. And, as all family recipes, they vary with each cook.

This recipe of beef rolls are called "Zrazy Zawijane". Although very close to the Italian Braciole, this recipe is very tasteful and a wonderful main entrée.

You can find a large variation of recipes for this dish, such as:

My mother's recipe is very different indeed.

"Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month,
that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day;
and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it;
for mirth is also of Heaven's making."
