Preparation

Cut the cheese thinly. Place the ham on the slices of meat. Place a slice of cheese on the ham. Roll up the slices and secure the roll with a toothpick; do this for all the rolls. Place the steam basket inside a saucepan filled with water just as far as the steaming basket. Bring the water to the boil and place the rolls in the basket, add salt, a sage leaf on each if you like, and then cover the pan and wait until cooked - if the meat is not too thick this will take just a few minutes. Serve the rolls with a side salad of fresh rocket and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.

Tips
If the beef slices for your rolls are not particularly thin, lightly beat them with the help of a meat pounder or similar utensil. By doing this you will make the meat thinner and far more tender.
Trivia
The slices of topside beef are tender and lean, perfect for making stuffed rolls or escalopes. However, you can also use a piece of topside to make a roast or braised joint of beef. In the latter case, use a cut from a young animal: the result will be both tender and tasty at the same time.
