Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add 1 large onion cut into julienne slices, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the pan.

Sauté until the onion is beautifully caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Add 300 g of diced mushrooms to the pan and stir them in; cook until tender.

Set the onion and mushroom mixture aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 lb (450 g) of minced beef and crack in 1 egg.

Season the beef with 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Take a piece of plastic film and spread the beef mixture on top, shaping it into a rectangle.

Add a layer of grated cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.

Spread the cooked onions and mushrooms over the cheese, then finish with another layer of grated cheddar cheese.

Roll the beef mixture into a tight cylinder using the plastic film to help shape it.

Place the beef roll onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Brush the roll with tomato paste seasoned with salt and garlic powder.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 40 minutes.
