For the Beef Braciole:
- 1 lb thin beef slices (top round or flank steak)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Kitchen twine or toothpicks
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Pound the beef slices until thin. Season with salt and pepper, then spread the breadcrumb mixture over each slice. Roll up tightly and secure with twine.
- Brown the Braciole: Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown the beef rolls on all sides. Remove from the skillet.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the onion until soft. Add crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer the Braciole: Return the beef rolls to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low for 1 ½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve: Serve the braciole with pasta and plenty of sauce.
Notes
You can add additional fillings to the beef, such as prosciutto, hard boiled egg, spinach, or provolone cheese, for extra flavor.
If the sauce thickens too much during simmering, add a little water or beef broth to thin it out.
