Instructions
- Make marinade: In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced by about a third and is syrupy in consistency, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare vegetables: In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add peppers and cook 2 minutes, then add asparagus and zucchini and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, 4 to 6 minutes more.
- Assemble roll-ups: Lay steak strips flat on a cutting board, and brush both sides with marinade. Place a small handful of vegetables in the center of each piece of steak. Wrap the steak around the vegetables and secure with a toothpick.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place steak roll-ups in the skillet seam side-down and cook 2 minutes until nice and seared. Use tongs to turn roll-ups to cook on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Brush with remaining marinade as the steak cooks.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
