✨ Description
Beef paupiette is one of the most classic yet gastronomically refined choices in Greek and international cuisine. It consists of a thin fillet of beef, butterflied by hand, rolled, and stuffed with colorful, fresh vegetables, creating a roulade that impresses both in flavor and appearance.

-
Colorful peppers

Julienned carrot

Zucchini

A touch of herbs (parsley, thyme)

A little balsamic or mustard cream for balance
A dish that evokes a traditional Sunday family meal, with a presentation and quality that rival gourmet cuisine.
