Best 8 Bracciole Flank Steak Rolls Recipes

BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost tender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
• Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

• Butterfly the steak horizontally (the striations and grain should run horizontal at the end), opening the top flap like a book until it is one flat piece. Gently pound out with a meat mallet to even the thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Layer the cheese over the steak, leaving about a 1-inch perimeter. Then add the breadcrumb mixture and spread it within 1 inch of the edge, patting it down evenly. Next, horizontally layer the asparagus in the same fashion.
• Starting at the shorter end of the steak (the striations and grain of the meat should be running horizontally), tightly roll the steak into a pinwheel, taking care to make it even. Using twine, tightly tie the roll in 1-inch increments, then loop around the edge to seal the sides.
• Heat one side of a gas grill on high for indirect cooking.
• For the braciole baste: Combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and oregano in a small bowl and mix together.

Lower the heat to medium and move the braciole to the cool side of the grill. Cover and cook, basting every 5 minutes with the braciole baste, until the internal temperature hits 120 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
• For the braciole sauce: This can be done directly on the grill while the braciole is resting. Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and tomatoes. Give a toss, then don't move the tomatoes until they start to char and blister, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss again and finish charring for about 3 minutes.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK (BRACCIOLE)

Steps:

• Marinate steaks the night before with the Italian dressing and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. (This step is not necessary, but can be done to enhance flavor. If not marinating, season meat with salt, pepper and garlic before stuffing.).

• Combine the bacon, green onions, garlic, pepper and parsley. Divide the mixture in two - one part for each steak. For each steak, spread 1/2 of the mixture in the middle of the steak, leaving 1/4 of the steak on each edge with no mixture. Place 3 hard-boiled on the edge of the mixture. Flip the edge closest to the eggs over the eggs and roll up the steak jelly-roll style. Secure the end of the steak on the outside with toothpicks, skewers or tie with string.
• In a large stock pan, cover the bottom of the pan with oil and heat to medium heat. Brown each steak on all sides. Remove the steaks and remove excess oil from the pan. Add tomato puree, stewed tomato and tomato sauce. Add the steaks back into the pan with the sauce and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about one hour, or until the steaks are fork tender.
