Braciola Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Beef
Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to pound it to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Roll the Steak
Starting from one end, carefully roll the steak up tightly to form a log. Secure it with toothpicks or tie it with kitchen twine.
Sear the Braciola
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rolled braciola and sear on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Sauce Ingredients
Pour in the red wine and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
Cook Slowly
Cover and let it cook on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender.
Serve
Remove the toothpicks or twine, slice into rounds, and serve with the sauce spooned over the top.
