Beef Braciole

Description

This dish is sometimes called Involtini or Roulades, but my family has always referred to it as Braciole after the cut of beef used. This is my mother’s signature dish and it is my absolute favourite food in the whole wide world.

Sauce

2 796 ml cans crushed tomatoes

1 small can tomato paste

750 ml water

1/2 cup red wine

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

salt and pepper, to taste

Meat

8 slices thin round steak

8 slices bacon, uncooked

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp fresh parsley

Methods/steps

In a Dutch oven, bring all sauce ingredients to a boil. Lower heat to simmer while preparing the meat.

Preheat oven to 325˚F.

Mix together garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Spread mixture onto each slice of beef. Layer one slice of uncooked bacon on each. Starting from long end, roll up each slice and tie with butcher’s string.

In olive oil, in medium-hot skillet, sauté rolls until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add to warmed sauce in Dutch oven. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours or until beef is tender. Remove string and serve the braciole and sauce over rigatoni or penne.

Additional Tips

Serve with a Tuscan Sangiovese or Cabernet Sauvignon.
