Cook garlic and onion in a dash of olive oil until translucent.

Add red wine and tinned tomatoes, bringing to a simmer.

Prepare herbs (oregano, garlic, parsley) for the filling.

Mix herbs with onions, minced pork, bacon, and eggs in a bowl to create the filling.

Take a piece of skirt steak, place a scoop of filling and a boiled egg in the middle, and fold it up.

Secure the rolled beef with toothpicks to hold it together.

Place the rolls snugly in a dish and add water to prevent drying out.

Simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours until cooked.
