Maw-Maw's Braciole
Ingredients
- ½ c. good quality Italian bread crumbs
- 2 T. minced garlic
- ½ c. grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ⅓ c. grated provolone
- ¼ c. chopped fresh parsley
- 4-6 T. olive oil
- Salt, fresh black pepper, garlic powder
- 1 ½-2 lb. flank steak
- 1 c. white wine
- 3-4 c. Marinara sauce (homemade or store bought)
Instructions
- Mix the first 5 ingredients plus 3 T. olive oil together in a bowl. Season to taste and set aside.
- Place the flank steak on your work surface. Season both sides of the meat.
- Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover evenly.
- Starting at the short end, roll as in jelly roll fashion. Try to enclose the filling completely.
- With butcher twine, tie the steak roll to secure it.
- Preheat oven 350. Heat remaining oil in heavy ovenproof skillet.
- Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add wine to pan and bring to a boil. Stir in marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake in oven until almost tender. Turn and baste the roll every 30 minutes.
- After 1 hour, uncover and continue to bake until meat is tender, approximately another 20-30 minutes. Total cooking time is usually 1 ½ hours.
- Remove from oven. Take the meat roll out and with sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into ½” slices. Transfer to serving plates and spoon with more sauce.
