Method
Preparation
- Lay the beef slices flat and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, minced garlic, and beaten egg to form the breadcrumb mixture.
- In another bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and basil for the filling.
- Spread an even layer of the breadcrumb mixture on each beef slice, then top with the cheese and tomato filling.
- Carefully roll up each slice tightly and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
Cooking
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the braciole rolls on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the browned braciole and set aside. In the same skillet, add olive oil, onion, and garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add crushed tomatoes, red wine, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet and bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Return the braciole rolls to the sauce, cover, and simmer gently on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender.
- Turn the braciole occasionally to ensure even cooking and sauce absorption.
Finishing
- Remove the braciole from the sauce and discard the twine or toothpicks before slicing and serving immediately with sauce spooned over the top.
